Hello,
I’m a Data Scientist with a background in Business analytics and a master's degree in Data Science from UC Santa Cruz. My work combines technical skills with creativity, focusing on translating complex data into clear, actionable insights that boost business outcomes.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked on projects that involve more than just crunching numbers—I’ve built user-friendly dashboards, automated processes, and provided strategic insights for web development and digital marketing efforts. From analyzing customer behaviors to optimizing marketing campaigns, I aim to deliver solutions that are both practical and impactful.
As I transition into freelancing, I enjoy applying my data analytics, web development, and digital marketing skills to new challenges, helping businesses clearly see their data and understand how to leverage it for growth.

I work with startups and growth stage companies to help them succeed with their capital raise.
My experience comes from vetting thousands startups for an investor network that hosted pitch competitions all over North America. Less than 1% survived my screening, but those that did went on to raise a collective $100M from angel and professional investors. I've coached hundreds of entrepreneurs including Y Combinator graduates, Fortune500 executives, serial entrepreneurs, and first-time founders. I also hold a law degree from a US accredited law school.
Rates negotiable based on scope of work.
Offered services:
- Capital raise advising
- Pitch deck storytelling, mock investor Q&A
- Fundraising strategy
- Financial and valuation analysis
- Business plans
- Due diligence preparation
- Contract review
