Business Analytics & AI | Data Analysis • Finance • Compliance
Plano

Summary


I started my career as a lawyer, working mainly on business contracts, tax disputes, and regulatory cases. That gave me a strong foundation in compliance and risk awareness. Over time I became more interested in how data can support decision-making in these areas, so I decided to pursue my Master’s in Business Analytics & AI at UT Dallas.

Now I’m building skills in data analysis, predictive modeling, and visualization, and I’ve been applying them through projects in Python, R, and SQL. With this mix of legal, finance, and analytics experience, I’m looking for opportunities in banking and financial services where I can combine compliance knowledge with data-driven insights.
