More about Me

Having just received my Masters Degree in Data Science from Southern Methodist University, I am passionate about leveraging data to solve complex problems with creativity and drive insightful decision-making. During my master's program, I honed my skills in machine learning, statistical analysis, and data visualization and developed hands-on experience with Python, R, SQL and greatly expanded my data science toolbox. As a bilingual professional with a diverse academic background, including a Bachelor's Degree in International Relations and Global Studies from the University of Texas at Austin, I bring a global mindset and excellent communication skills to collaborative environments. My journey from international relations to data science underscores my adaptability and eagerness to integrate diverse fields of knowledge. I am driven by a relentless curiosity and a passion for continuous learning. I thrive in dynamic, team-oriented settings and am committed to contributing to the success of innovative data-driven projects.

Technologies I use:

Languages: Python, SQL, R, HTML5, CSS3, Git, JavaScript

Applications: Github, Flask, Command Line, Tableau
Tools: Excel, TensorFlow, Pandas, Jupyter Notebook, Scikit learn, Matplotlib, Bootstrap

Recent Projects

These are just a few of the projects I have collaborated on.

Leveraging Transformer Models for Genre Classification

Using Python and the Hugging Face transformers library, developed a music genre classification using DistilBERT transformer model to capture and understand intricate linguistic nuances within song lyrics to enhance classification accuracy and efficiency.

Neural Network Charity Analysis

Using Python’s TensorFlow library, the purpose of this project was to create a mathematical driven solution to design and train a deep learning neural network to analyze the impact of each donation to a charity, predict which organizations are worth donating to and which are high risk, and evaluate whether the foundation money was used effectively. Final model evaluated all kinds of input data and produced a clear decision-making result.
