About

I am a Business Analytics and Information Systems student at The University of Iowa, graduating in May 2026 with a 3.70 GPA. My work spans full-stack development, data analytics, and product thinking — I care about turning raw data into decisions that actually get used.

Over the past few years I have built and shipped a cross-platform mobile application used by 3,000+ students, completed a Business Analyst internship with the Tippie Analytics Cooperative, and run an e-commerce business that reached customers in 29 countries. I am open to roles across industries, with a preference for positions in the United States or Europe.
