About Me

Hello! I was born and raised in the Chicagoland area and then moved out to Virginia for undergrad at the college of William & Mary where I majored in data science and was also a member of their division one women’s basketball team. This experience of balancing athletic and academic demands has really developed my appreciation for fast-paced and team oriented work environments. These characteristics in a workplace and future role was one of the reasons I decided to pursue my MS in Business Analytics here at Notre Dame. I was also motivated to pursue this degree to extend my knowledge as to how technical results and models that I learned about in undergrad could be applied in business settings and especially the data storytelling aspect to be able to effectively communicate results to people without technical backgrounds in a compelling way.
