At work, you will find me at my best when I interact with my users – I find this part of my job the most enjoyable and fulfilling. Diving into data analysis is exciting and hard at the same time, but it’s all worth it when it uncovers eye-opening insights and unexpected surprises!

Principles:
– Words of wisdom from Dad: “Be in competition with yourself.” It’s true because it encourages hard work, constant self-improvement, and striving to be your best!
– Mom instilled humility and the idea to treat everyone with kindness.
– Grandmother taught me to be resilient and strong in the face of adversity, and to keep going no matter what!
