Welcome
๐ Hi, Iโm
Iโm a graduate student at Georgetown University, wrapping up my M.S. in Data Science and Analytics. This site is a hub for my academic, research, and personal work โ a growing portfolio focused on:
Deep Learning, Generative AI, Reinforcement Learning, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Survival Analysis.
Whether youโre here to explore projects, learn more about my background, or just enjoy a few jokes โ welcome!
๐พ Growing Up
Iโm originally from Scotch Plains, New Jersey, and Iโm a triplet! I have two amazing sisters, Melissa and Jessica. Family has always been a big part of my life โ and so has our dog, Roxie ๐ถ.
๐ Education & Experience
I earned my undergraduate degree from Villanova University in 2021, double majoring in Economics and Business Analytics, with a concentration in Politics, Philosophy, & Economics and a Political Science minor.
As a student in Villanovaโs Honors Program, I studied abroad at the University of Cambridge, diving deep into international political economy, economic theory, and geopolitics. These courses โ and the conversations they sparked โ helped me realize how powerful data can be in understanding and addressing global challenges.
During undergrad, I also explored how data science could intersect with sports, politics, business, and public health. In one project, I analyzed the 2017 Houston Astros cheating scandal using scraped pitch-by-pitch data. In another, I applied STATA to investigate Paycheck Protection Program loan disparities during the COVID-19 pandemic. These experiences revealed the creative potential of analytics and its ability to enhance decision-making across disciplines โ fueling my desire to pursue graduate study.
๐ง Projects & Research Highlights
Some of the featured work on this site:
- Moon Rover Reinforcement Learning โ automating rover navigation in a simulated environment
- CoxNet โ a novel deep learning model for time-to-event prediction in survival analysis
- Moovies โ an interactive dashboard built using React and Next.js to explore movie ratings and box office performance
- Christmas Lights Project โ mapped and programmed a 3D custom holiday light display using a Raspberry Pi and addressable LED lights
Iโm continuously working on new projects and will keep this blog updated as things evolve.
