I’m a data consultant with a background in policy research, statistics, and community leadership. My PhD in Public Policy sharpened my skills in quantitative analysis, causal inference, and data storytelling — and I use those skills to help organizations translate messy data into meaningful action.

But data isn’t my only passion. I’m deeply involved in community life, from helping lead a nonprofit arts organization to serving in local church leadership. I also pursue photography as a creative outlet and way to document the beauty and connections I see around me.

I believe the most impactful work happens at the intersection of rigorous analysis and real human stories — whether that’s solving complex organizational challenges or capturing an image that makes someone smile.
