I recently relocated to New York from California where I found success in analytics and product management at a cloud-based SaaS company. During my tenure as an analyst, I worked extensively with datasets in Excel, Tableau, MySQL, and Google Analytics. Before that I was an Assistant Product Manager, where I learned effective product management techniques in a scrum-oriented environment.
I graduated in 2014 from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, California, where I concentrated in human computer interaction along with obtaining minors in both music and humanities. My education was grounded in advanced calculus, linear algebra, statistics, and computer science. I developed critical skills in various programming languages (C, Java, MySQL, Python, and Go), Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office, and gained familiarity with Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux environments. I enjoy using the design and development skills I learned in college to create compelling user experiences. I am passionate about analytics, behavior driven development, and intuitive design. I hope to combine my education and experience to connect people, communities, and brands.
