I got into analytics because I grew up watching sports and was always fascinated by the numbers behind the game. The way stats and data could tell a deeper story about performance really drew me in. I’ve always loved how analytics can take what’s happening on the field and turn it into something meaningful off the field.

My favorite project I've ever done has to be the Spotify project, where I dug into my listening history and analyzed my music tendencies. It was so interesting to uncover patterns in my habits and see how my preferences evolved over time. Plus, it was the perfect mix of data and something I’m genuinely passionate about which is music!
