When Data Enters My World

I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Computer Science from Southern Polytechnic State University in 2012 and a Master’s in Engineering Management from USC in 2014. Like many grads, I wasn’t sure what the future held, but one thing was clear—I had a passion for data and its power to fuel success.

In a world where data is everywhere, the real question is: how can it help a business grow? As a Business Intelligence Manager, I turn raw data into clear, compelling stories that guide decisions and drive action. By creating visualizations that go beyond just numbers, I help businesses unlock insights that lead to smarter choices and better outcomes.

This website is where I share my journey in data analysis, visualization, and storytelling, along with my personal and professional growth. I’m excited to spread positive energy and the transformative power of data. Let’s get started!
