Hello there! I'm a Data Scientist at Red Ventures. My passion lies in harnessing the power of machine learning to tackle problems that involve large amounts of data. As part of our Red Platform team, I build and maintain data science services used across our entire organization, powering the way we carry out customer segmentation, funnel optimization, ML orchestration, and so much more! I'm back with the team after a great internship last summer, where I explored and improved RV's decision optimization API.
In Spring 2023 I received a Master's degree from The University of California, Berkeley studying Information Management and Systems with an emphasis on Data Science and NLP. My thesis project addressed multilingual factual knowledge in LLMs. The paper was accepted to EMNLP. I also held a Teaching Assistant position for Professor David Bamman's NLP courses.
Prior to grad school, I worked as a Back End Software Engineer at Brightspot for 2 years. During my time there, I designed and implemented data pipelines and content solutions for high-profile clients like Mattress Firm and Janes. This role gave me invaluable experience in data modeling, API construction, and cross-functional collaboration, which I've carried forward into my current work.
In undergrad, I double-majored in Computer Science and English at The University of Virginia, graduating with High Honors in 2019. My thesis project for the English department, A Digital Analysis of the Lyrical Novel, was advised by Professor Brad Pasanek. Additionally, I was fortunate enough to earn a Research Assistant position at The Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities.
Thanks for taking the time to learn more about me and my background. If you're interested in collaborating or learning more, please don't hesitate to reach out!
