Hey, welcome to my profile!

I am a passionate data analyst currently pursuing my Master's degree, with a rich background in marketing, social media, and data analytics. My journey began as a marketing intern for a startup in high school, where I discovered the power of data in driving impactful marketing strategies. This early experience ignited my passion for data analytics and set me on a path of continuous learning and growth. 

Driven by a passion for learning and ambition, I have participated in(and won) over 100 hackathons, continuously refining my skills and expanding my knowledge in tech. Recently, I completed a data analytics bootcamp at Ironhack, where I further honed my skills in data analysis, visualization, and machine learning. 

Currently, I am a Social Media Marketing Specialist at WeCracked, a hackathon organization that helps students get into hackathons and benefit from them. My extensive hackathon experience has fueled my commitment to making a positive impact and helping others succeed. In this role, I manage LinkedIn posts bi-weekly and handle marketing analytics, effectively combining my data skills with my passion for community building and student success.

My diverse experiences have given me a unique perspective on the intersection of marketing, social media, and data analytics. I am actively seeking a data analyst role where I can leverage my analytical skills, attention to detail, and enthusiasm for data-driven decision-making. My goal is to join a dynamic team where I can continue to grow and make a meaningful impact.

Feel free to connect with me to collaborate on projects or discuss opportunities in data analytics!
