Business Analytics & Information Systems Student | Focused on Data Analysis and Decision Insights

Passionate about using data and analytics to drive meaningful impact in nonprofit and technology environments.

About

I am a Business Analytics and Information Systems student at the University of Iowa, graduating in May 2026. I enjoy working with data and turning it into clear insights that help organizations make better decisions.

I am especially interested in roles where data and technology support a larger mission. This could mean improving outcomes at a nonprofit, helping a company run more efficiently, or helping teams better understand their impact. To me, good data work is not just about numbers. It is about solving real world problems and making information useful for the people who need it.
