Over the past five years, I’ve worked at the intersection of research, analytics,communication, information management & dissemination-to make evidence-based decisions. I’m particularly passionate about how data analysis, storytelling and visualization can connect research with real-world agricultural impact and policy development, and I’m always looking for opportunities to collaborate on projects that bring data to life.
Beyond Data
A glimpse into other things that make me,me....
READING
Reading is what fuels me — it’s one of the ways I stay inspired and continuously grow. I enjoy exploring different blogs and perspective-driven stories that challenge how I see life. Lately, I’ve been reading a page of “On Managing Yourself” each night — a book I believe every professional and manager should explore to refine their mindset, strengthen their focus, and become their best selves. Reading, for me, is both a random habit and a form of quiet reflection that helps me step into the minds of others and see the world through new lenses..
TRAVELING
I love hopping on a train or catching a flight to explore new places. My most recent adventures took me from New York — where I flew over the skyline from New Jersey — to Japan, where I caught a breathtaking glimpse of Mt. Fuji. Each journey reminds me how vast and beautiful the world truly is. Traveling keeps me grounded — it broadens my perspective and deepens my empathy, reminding me that the world is much larger than the bubbles we often live in. If you have a favorite destination I should add to my list, reach out — I’m always looking for my next adventure!
