"I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Economics (Mathematical Emphasis) from the University of Wisconsin - Madison and have completed certifications in Artificial Intelligence, Python, Data Science, Machine Learning, and SQL from IBM, UC Berkeley, and the University of Michigan.

For over 20 years, I've applied these skills in high-performance finance and technology environments building predictive models, automating workflows, and leading data-driven projects at hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, and regulators.

Teaching has always been part of my work. I've coached junior researchers and analysts through technical interviews, led data-science training sessions for new hires, and served as a career coach with Parabolic, helping early-career professionals land roles in analytics and finance. I also volunteered as a tutor with First Graduate in San Francisco, supporting high school students from underrepresented backgrounds.

My approach is practical and student-driven. I focus on real tools and real problems, helping students build confidence through clarity. Whether you're learning AI/ML, Python, or SQL, I'll meet you where you are and push you forward with hands-on examples that make abstract concepts click." less...
