About me

I am a Data Scientist with over three years of experience turning scattered data into strategic assets that drive evidence-based decisions. I design analytical products, apply advanced statistical and machine learning methods, and translate results into clear, policy-relevant insights for diverse stakeholders. Awarded the Chevening Scholarship in 2021, I earned an M.Sc. in Data Science with distinction from Lancaster University. My professional experience across public health, finance, and international development in the LAC region has prepared me to work effectively with multi-stakeholder teams. I bring expertise in analyzing complex, multi-source datasets (ranging from surveys to satellite imagery and mobile data) to deliver actionable insights and measurable impact.
