About


Hey there✌️! I'm an experienced data scientist with two years of work experience in SaaS environments, where I've leveraged data to drive business growth. I love transforming complex ideas into clear, exciting concepts 🤩. Data is my playground 👩‍💻 — I excel in analysis and machine learning, tackling challenges with enthusiasm and a positive spirit. I'm always eager to learn new skills and integrate seamlessly into teams, contributing like a perfectly fitting puzzle piece 🧩😎.

A bit about myself: I hold a Master of Science degree in Computer Engineering from New York University💜 , where I specialized in software engineering, machine learning, big data, and data analysis. Most recently, I worked as a Data Scientist at Mindgrasp , developing Python scripts in AWS to answer educational queries and optimizing the React web app through A/B testing and performance monitoring 📈

I'm always learning and seeking opportunities in the data domain within collaborative and diverse teams. I aim to deploy my strong analytical and problem-solving skills to create a meaningful impact and contribute to business growth🤩🤩. Eager to tackle challenging projects, I look forward to refining my technical skills and excelling in roles such as Data Scientist, Data Engineer, Data Analyst, or ML Engineer😎.

Outside of Coding, I enjoy indulging in my hobbies. I find solace in going for hiking trips⛰️, sketching, binge-watching TV shows🍿, or cooking🧑‍🍳.
