I'm a data scientist with 5+ years of industry experience and a genuine passion for teaching. I taught data science full-time at Flatiron School, where I led 300+ hours of live instruction for adult career-changers in a bootcamp setting — covering Python, statistics, data wrangling, machine learning, and SQL. My students ranged from complete beginners to professionals upskilling for new roles.
My teaching approach focuses on building intuition first — I break complex concepts down to their simplest components before adding complexity. For example, rather than throwing gradient boosting at a student, I start with what a decision tree is doing intuitively, then what gradient descent means, then how they combine. I've found this approach works across all skill levels.
In my industry work I've applied these skills professionally at Bank of America, First Citizens Bank, NRG Energy, and MD Anderson Cancer Center — so I teach from real experience, not just textbook knowledge.
I hold a BBA in Management Information Systems from the University of Houston (3.8 GPA, Cum Laude) and completed a Data Science Bootcamp at Flatiron School.
Subjects I can help with: Python, Pandas, SQL, machine learning, statistics, probability, data visualization, Bayesian analysis, time series forecasting, and A/B testing.
