Analytics Grad Student & Developer

I'm a Master of Management Analytics student at the University of Alberta, with a computing science degree and a business minor. Across two internships and a range of projects I've built data pipelines, dashboards, and web apps, with a focus on making data usable and trustworthy. I'm based in Edmonton, and outside of school and work I'm usually out somewhere with my camera.
