About

I'm a data analyst and product builder based in San Diego. At GIA, I use behavioral data and analytics to improve digital products across search and mobile. Outside of work, I build and launch things from the ground up, including Upcycled Supply Co., a sustainable outdoor gear brand, and STOA, a tool inspired by a problem I experienced firsthand while selling at local markets. I recently completed my M.S. in Business Analytics at the Rady School of Management, where I focused on machine learning, experimentation, and consumer behavior.
