Bridging the Gap Between Human Behavior and High-Stakes Data
I am a Data and Strategy Analyst who believes that data is simply human behavior in numeric form. With a foundation in Behavioral Psychology and graduate-level Statistical Training, I specialize in turning “nebulous” business questions into rigorous scientific frameworks.
While many analysts focus solely on the “what,” my background allows me to solve for the “why.”
The Behavioral/Psychology Edge
Carvana and other industry leaders specifically seek analysts who can decode how consumers make complex purchasing decisions. My BA in Psychology from California State University, Long Beach, provides the exact scientific framework required to quantify these behaviors. I don’t just look at conversion rates; I analyze the drivers, barriers, and psychological hooks that move metrics.
Technical Integration & Rigor
I possess the core technical stack required for modern data environments—SQL, Python, R, and Tableau—but my value-add is the rigor I bring to these tools. Having spent 15+ years analyzing massive federal datasets (SAMHSA, CDC) and reverse-engineering legacy databases, I understand that data integrity is the foundation of every strategic bet. Whether it’s optimizing marketing spend or building fraud-detection models, I ensure the math is sound before the narrative is built.
The AI Frontier: Agentic Workflows
I am at the forefront of the shift toward Agentic AI. I don’t just use AI to generate “slop”; I build and manage advanced AI workflows where LLMs act as reasoning partners for research design, code drafting, and statistical sanity-checking. By mastering multi-step task orchestration and tool-using agents, I accelerate the path from raw data to executive-ready insights.
Senior Levers: Translation & Storytelling
A dashboard is only as good as the decision it inspires. I identify as a “Stakeholder Translator”—a bridge between the technical world of Engineering and the strategic world of Executive Leadership.
