Welcome to my Page!

About me: I have a passion for data and improving healthcare, and have had the fortune of doing it professionally for over a decade. Currently, I am a Lead Data Scientist at Humana in their Digital Health & Analytics business. My job entails providing analytics insights that informs Humana’s business strategy around clinical improvement and member retention. Most often, this is done via interactive dashboards (Power BI), predictive models (in Azure Cloud), and pilot program studies.

My prior work experience includes being a research analyst for FDA’s Sentinel Initiative program, an ETL developer for a healthcare analytics software company, and an analyst for a leading health benefits management consulting company. Through my education and various roles within the healtchare sector, I have developed expertise in data analysis of claims/clinical data using a variety of programming tools (Python, R, SQL, SAS). I also have extensive experience with ETL/pipeline engineering, client/project management (gathering requirements and presenting results).

Above all, I love exploring new data science techniques to address interesting business questions. Below, I’ve linked some data science projects I’ve completed in my spare time. I encourage you to check them out, and welcome any feedback or questions.

Data Science Projects

Dashboard to Find Your Ideal Music Festival
