Where I'm Headed

Over the last two years, I've built at hackathons, shipped tools at co-ops, and gotten a better sense of the problems I want to work on. I’m most drawn to work that turns messy, complex data into something useful: a forecast, a risk signal, or a product feature that helps a team make a better decision.

I’m looking for a Winter 2027 co-op in data science or analytics where I can tackle complex problems with data, develop tools and products that ships, and learn from people with more experience than me.

After graduating, I hope to pursue a part-time master’s degree in data science while working full-time.
