About Me

I am first-generation Latina with a background in psychology, behavioral analysis, and education. I began my academic journey at Los Angeles Pierce College and earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from California State University Channel Islands. During that time, I worked for LAUSD as both an Office Administrative Assistant and later as a Behavior Specialist—supporting students, educators, and families with strategy and care.

Now, I’m pursuing my Master of Science in Applied Data Science at the University of San Diego. I’ve transitioned from behavioral insights to data analytics, combining my understanding of human behavior with technical tools like SQL, Python, and AWS. Today, I work as a Freelance Data Analyst focused on Twitch Growth Analytics, helping content creators understand their engagement trends, improve scheduling, and grow sustainably using data.

My goal is to use data to create meaningful, real-world impact—and to empower other first-gen students and professionals who never thought tech was an option for them.
