Summary
While I may not consider myself the brightest person in the room, my unwavering work ethic and commitment to problem-solving sets me apart. Outside of work, I lead an active lifestyle, participating in marathons to challenge myself physically, indulging in reading to nourish my mind, and occasionally embracing painting as a creative outlet. In my professional journey, I've discovered that my true passion lies in illuminating paths for companies through the realm of data science and analytics. I am deeply invested in leveraging data-driven insights to drive strategic decisions. It's in this intersection of my personal drive and professional aspirations that I find fulfillment and purpose.
