Data Science & Public Health student with a strong foundation in DEI principles and practical experience in program development, training facilitation, and policy advocacy. Combines analytical skills with a passion for creating equitable and inclusive communities.

My academic journey at Bennington College, enhanced by cross-enrollment at Williams College, has been defined by a deep commitment to interdisciplinary problem-solving with a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion. I am majoring in Data Science and Public Health, with a minor in Public Policy, to cultivate a unique skill set that bridges quantitative analysis and social impact. Through carefully selected coursework and research experiences, I have sought to integrate the rigor of data science methodologies, including statistical modeling and machine learning, with the core tenets of public health, such as epidemiology, health equity, and the social determinants of health. This foundation is further strengthened by my exploration of public policy frameworks, enabling me to translate data-driven insights into actionable policy recommendations aimed at addressing systemic inequities, promoting diversity, and improving population health outcomes for all.
