My Education

My education led me to the Texas A&M University where I earned my Bachelors degree in Applied Math with an emphasis in Computer Science and a minor in Computer Science. During my time in college, I discovered how much I enjoyed computer sciences and coding. My first programming class, an Intro to Java, showed me how a couple lines of code can create ideas into reality, which opened my eyes to the endless possibilities. My Applied Mathematics background, sets me apart since I learned to approach programming not only from a technical perspective, but also through the lens of algorithm and analytical reasoning. I am confident that the programming foundation I built in college has prepared me to continue learning more programming languages and further expand my technical skills.

My learning did not stop at college. After graduating, I have taken it upon myself to continue expanding my technical skills by learning new languages such as SQL, and strengthening my understanding of data modeling and database design. On my own, I've taken advantage of the internet resources to learn SQL fundamentals and Data Visualizations through Tableau. At Brighter Bites, I've put these skills to practice where they continued to grow. Additionally, I learned how to use Power BI, data modeling and database design in my role as a Data Analyst. Over time, I built interactive dashboards and visual reports for staff and upper management. These projects taught me the value of collaboration and how to translate data into insights that have driven real decisions. In my current role as Data Systems Lead, I have become more involved in maintaining, optimizing, and creating our database ETL pipelines ensuring our data systems are efficient, scalable, and reliable. Now, I am currently learning and exploring how to use the different tools meant for Data Ingestion and automation such as Apache airflow, Talend, or Informica.
