About

I am an economist and a data scientist with nearly a decade of experience in data analytics. I hold undergraduate degrees in economics and international studies from Fordham University's honors program, and a graduate degree in applied economics from the Johns Hopkins University. My academic specialization is in econometrics and quantitative methods, with a focus on exploring novel applications of data technologies to the social sciences.

I began my career with the United States Peace Corps serving as a health specialist in a rural community in northwestern Rwanda. I spent three years there collecting and analyzing anthropometric data on malnourished children, which I used to design programs on nutrition-sensitive agriculture, disease prevention, and sanitation. This experience instilled a deep appreciation for the power of evidence-based decision making methodologies, and ultimately led me to pursue a career in data analytics.

I have also worked as an economist for two other U.S. government agencies, the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. Agency for International Development. My work involved collecting, analyzing, and reporting on a variety of social, economic, and financial data and processes.

I transitioned into consulting two years ago, starting as a research analyst consultant for the World Bank, where I have performed data analytics and modeling on economic growth, public finance, and other macroeconomic indicators in the Central American region.

In addition to my consulting work with the World Bank, I offer services as a freelance consultant to NGOs, non-profits, small businesses, and other organizations to support their data needs.

I work primarily in R, Python, SQL, Tableau, and Microsoft Excel.
