Bio
I am Data Scientist at Pacific Life interested in using mathematical and statistical skills to analyze data improve the financial literacy, financial security, and overall experience of our customers. Prior to this job, I also have used my statistical and data science skills to research cancer medication dosages, climate trends, and the use of various teaching techniques in university level math coursework. My masters thesis was focused on statistical modeling techniques for understanding compound climate extremes. Outside of work, I enjoy dancing and embroidering. I love listening to podcasts and audiobooks. I am also currently learning how to crochet!Project ideas
