Researcher, developer, and educator building at the intersection of science, technology, and learning.

Data Scientist
From protein crystallography at GVSU to space pharmacology at NASA Johnson Space Center, my research career has always been about finding patterns in complex systems. I hold a B.S. in Mathematics with a concentration in Probability, Statistics, and Data Science from UT Austin, and I've applied that foundation to everything from antibiotic resistance studies to building Monte Carlo simulations that model CPS Selective Enrollment admissions. I believe the most meaningful data work starts with a real question and ends with a decision someone can act on.

Salesforce Developer
Senior Salesforce Developer and client-facing technical lead at a boutique consulting firm in Chicago. I architect solutions in Apex, Lightning Web Components, and Experience Cloud across industries from telecom to construction. My work includes building billing portals, designing third-party API integrations, and leading junior developers through complex deployments. I care about clean code, governor limits, and building things that the next developer can actually read.

Math Educator
I work with students one-on-one, using minimal technology—a whiteboard, a pencil, and a conversation about the problem in front of us. My practice is built entirely on family referrals. I've prepared five Montessori students with no prior testing experience to score a median 868 on the HSAT, and a high school junior who scored a 35 on their first ACT attempt. I teach because I believe every student deserves someone who can meet them where they are and show them what they're capable of.
