I am lucky enough to have pursued some of my passions over the course of my career. As a forever animal lover, I cared for my patients of all sizes in a small/large animal clinic as a vet tech for nearly 8 years. It’s a heartwrenching job that ultimately led me to another passion - professional mountain biking. It took nearly a decade of dedication and sacrifice to win a National Title and represent the USA. After being one spot short of the Olympic long team, I decided to reevaluate my next chapter - Data Science. In college, I enjoyed math and science, especially statistics and genetics. I retired early at the top of my game to pursue a career in Data Science. In my next decade, I want to combine the skills that I have obtained throughout my life - hard work, empathy, commitment, and spirit - with my newly-honed expertise in Data Analysis, Machine Learning, and Computer Science. I am also embarking on an entrepreneurship journey as a beekeeper, establishing my brand, High Altitude Hives, successfully selling out my first harvest!
