Interests
I am a data analyst and researcher with a passion for inquiry and practical impact. I specialize in root cause analysis to uncover the drivers behind data patterns, then translate those insights into clear, actionable strategies. Guided by curiosity, analytical rigor, and a focus on real-world outcomes, I use data not only to explain what is happening—but to inform what should happen next.

About
Here's my story.

2003-2009
San Antonio, Texas
I started out as a musician playing cello (since age 9) and attended The University of Texas at San Antonio to earn a BA in Music. During this time I became interested in research and statistics and so completed a BA in Psychology as well.

2009-2011
Sheffield, UK
When I saw that the UK had postgraduate degrees focusing on music and neuroscience I shipped out to England. Here I learned about experimental design, music cognition, and neuroscience techniques.

2012-2016
Sheffield, UK
I stayed in Sheffield to take up a PhD in psychology. For this degree I examined the effects of nicotine on music-induced emotion and auditory perception. During this time I gained additional experience in data anlaystics and teaching.
