About


Hey there✌️! I'm an experienced data scientist with two years of work experience across diverse domains, where I've leveraged data to drive business growth. I thrive on transforming complex ideas into clear, actionable insights 🤩. Data is my playground 👩‍💻 — I specialize in data analysis and machine learning, approaching challenges with enthusiasm and a solutions-driven mindset.

A bit about myself: Currently, I work as a Clinical Data Scientist at CVS Health, where I have build a system to summarize discharge notes into structured notes with key information for a 1.2M population📈. Academically, I hold a Master of Science degree in Computer Engineering from New York University💜, that laid the foundation of my strong analytical and technical expertise.

I'm driven by a passion for continuous learning, creating meaningful impact, and collaborating with diverse, high-performing teams. My goal is to apply my analytical and problem-solving skills to drive business growth and innovation. I'm excited to take on challenging projects and sharpen my expertise in roles such as Data Scientist, Solutions Architect, 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🧑‍🍳.
