About me
Data Analyst | Dallas, TX
Driving Strategic Decisions Through Technical Storytelling
With a Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, I leverage over a decade of operational experience spanning the FMCG industry and global military aviation maintenance. My background in troubleshooting critical aircraft systems has deeply honed my expertise in rigorous root-cause analysis, skills I now apply directly to engineering robust data architecture, debugging datasets, and solving complex business problems.
While I continue to expand my technical capabilities through the CompTIA Data+ certification, maintaining a strong routine outside of work keeps me balanced. Daily fitness is a non-negotiable habit, and when it’s time to unplug, you can usually find me hiking, fishing, or planning my next camping trip.
