I'm an innovative data scientist and analyst with proven success discovering patterns and deploying holistic project management to convey layers of disparate information. As an agile learner, I create order from chaos by absorbing new technology quickly. My professional communications experience and diverse background in writing, research, and sports gaming position me to be adept at conceptualizing options and homing in on efficiencies and best practices. My experience working virtually and providing cohesive, consistent documentation help me to steer initiatives as a constructive, respected team member.
