Find the signal.
Shape the product.
Decide what's next.

I was always happiest with a puzzle in front of me. I loved moving the pieces around, getting things wrong, and staying with them until the full picture finally appeared. I didn't know it then, but curiosity was already shaping how I saw the world.

Computer Engineering gave that curiosity structure. I learned to look beneath the surface, trace how different pieces connect, and break intimidating problems into ones I could actually solve. But over time, I became just as interested in the people using a system as the system itself.

During my product internship, something clicked. The most interesting question wasn't simply, "Can we build this?" It was, "Should we - and who will it help?" Listening to users, mapping their journeys, and weighing difficult trade-offs showed me where I wanted to be: at the intersection of people, products, and decisions.

That path brought me to Business Analytics at USC Marshall. Today, I use data to understand what people need, uncover the story behind their behavior, and help teams decide what to do next. The tools have changed since those childhood puzzles - but the feeling I'm chasing is still the same: the moment when scattered pieces finally make sense.
