Education, for me, is about learning how to think clearly under uncertainty—not simply collecting credentials. Each stage of my academic journey has been intentionally aligned with my professional work in regulated, high-impact environments and my broader life goal of building systems that help people operate with greater clarity, balance, and agency.
My engineering and data science training informs how I design quality systems in industry, while my reflective and philosophical studies shape how those same systems can be translated into practical tools for everyday life. Looking ahead, I am actively considering pursuing a PhD in higher education and applied systems thinking, with the aim of teaching, mentoring, and helping others implement the frameworks and systems I develop over the course of my career into meaningful, real-world solutions.
University of Michigan
Ann, Arbor- MI
Master of Applied Data Science (MADS) — University of Michigan School of Information program, designed to prepare students to lead in data science roles by mastering the full data science lifecycle — from data collection and computation to modeling, visualization, and ethical communication. The modular curriculum allows flexible pacing and emphasizes project-based learning, culminating in a professional portfolio project. The program is respected for its real-world focus, diverse student body, and strong career outcomes across industries.
Current Coursework (SIADS 593 – Milestone I): SIADS 593 is a team-based portfolio milestone course focused on synthesizing foundational skills across data acquisition, cleaning, manipulation, exploratory analysis, and visualization. Through a collaborative project developed with classmates, students apply prior coursework to deliver a substantive dataset analysis suitable for inclusion in their professional portfolio.
University of California, Riverside
Riverside- CA
Completed my undergraduate studies at the Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering (BCOE), a nationally recognized engineering school known for its emphasis on interdisciplinary problem-solving, research integration, and societal impact. The Bioengineering program combines core engineering principles with biological sciences, preparing students to operate at the intersection of technology, healthcare, and regulated scientific environments.
Coursework and training emphasized systems thinking, experimental design, quantitative analysis, and engineering ethics, with exposure to biomaterials, biomedical systems, and data-driven evaluation of complex biological processes. The program’s engineering rigor and research-oriented culture provided a strong foundation for work in manufacturing, quality systems, validation, and applied data science.
I was also an active member of Beta Chi Theta Fraternity, where I developed leadership, discipline, and community engagement skills alongside my technical education.
El Camino Real Chart H.S.
Woodland Hills- CA
I attended El Camino Real Charter High School, a top-ranked public charter school in the San Fernando Valley known for academic excellence and historic competitive success. As a member of the Academic Decathlon team, I participated in one of the most successful scholastic programs in the nation. El Camino Real holds a record 11 United States Academic Decathlon National Championships, the most of any high school in the country, with titles spanning multiple decades (1998 through 2025) and capturing more than 15 California State Championships as well. These achievements reflect sustained team excellence across rigorous subjects including math, science, economics, literature, and speech & interview events — a testament to disciplined preparation and collaborative intellectual engagement.
