Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it. - Maya Angelou
About me
I embarked on my journey with Policy Map in 2022, embracing the role of "Senior Data Services Analyst." Here, I'm not just crunching numbers – I'm crafting new and innovative data indicators by blending public and proprietary data through meticulous statistical techniques. My passion for data and research blossomed during my time at Rutgers University-Camden, where I earned a doctorate in Public Affairs and Community Development. Hailing from the vibrant city of Los Angeles, California, I kickstarted my academic pursuits with a Bachelor's in Sociology from the University of California-Irvine. My thirst for knowledge led me to achieve a Master of Public Policy from the prestigious Bloustein School and a Master of Science from Rutgers Camden.
Throughout my academic journey, I've woven the threads of research into tangible solutions for nonprofits, private enterprises, and state agencies. Now, at Policy Map, I'm channeling my problem-solving prowess into the realm of data analytics and technology, contributing my skills to drive impactful changes. My mission? To turn raw data into actionable insights and make a difference in the world of policy and development.
