I am a first-generation scholar with a Master’s degree in Statistics and a Ph.D. in Applied Economics, with extensive training in econometrics, quantitative modeling, causal inference, time-series analysis, and machine learning. I am also completing a Master’s degree in Computer Science with a machine learning specialization at Georgia Tech. My academic and professional background allows me to tutor students in statistics, data science, economics, research methods, programming, and quantitative finance. I work in quantitative finance and model risk at a large U.S. bank, where I evaluate complex credit-risk, stress-testing, and machine-learning models. I am fluent in English, Spanish, French, and Creole, and I am currently learning Italian.
I have mentored more than 30 high school students through Polygence in one-on-one online research settings. I help students refine research questions, locate and interpret credible sources, select appropriate methods, analyze data, write clearly about results, and prepare polished final projects. My approach is supportive and individualized: I meet students at their current level, break challenging concepts into practical steps, and emphasize hands-on learning through real-world examples and projects. I have also worked as a statistical consultant at the University of Georgia, advising students and faculty on experimental design, data collection, model selection, and statistical analysis.
I enjoy helping students build both technical confidence and intellectual curiosity. Whether a student is exploring a first research project, preparing for advanced coursework, or learning how data can answer real-world questions, I encourage them to ask thoughtful questions and develop independent problem-solving skills. My experience as a researcher, quantitative professional, and mentor helps me create a structured, encouraging environment for students with different interests, backgrounds, and goals.
