The path here

Rooted in care, built on data

  1. Education & foundation

    My journey began with a Bachelor of Science in Public Health, but my first professional step took me into financial consulting. There, I discovered how much I enjoyed translating models into insights

  2. Return to health & community

    I transitioned into roles focused on mental health and education, working directly with underserved communities. These experiences reminded me why I pursued public health in the first place: to help people in meaningful, personal ways.

  3. Integrating data & impact

    Returning to graduate school at Carnegie Mellon was my way of integrating these two parts of my career. Now, I bring together data analysis, policy design, and real-world experience to support equity and impact in health and social systems.
