I’m a data scientist relocating to Los Angeles, California, and seeking new professional opportunities. I have worked in business intelligence roles for the past 7 years, after a nine-year career in journalism, where I worked as an investigative, business and general assignment reporter at publications in Maine and California.
I grew up in the suburb of Diamond Bar, California, before coming to Maine for college. Maine is amazing and I stayed in Portland, where my wife and I met and have lived since 2011.
I started my journalism career as the first local editor for Patch.com in my hometown. I came back to Maine for a staff job at a small, afternoon daily paper in Brunswick. I developed a fondness for data reporting at Mainebiz before three years covering Maine’s economy and investigations at the Bangor Daily News.
Witnessing some live data science and statistics wizardry one election night at the Bangor Daily News (when the paper had a data scientist on staff!) fascinated me and pushed me in a new direction.
I most recently managed business intelligence tools for the accounting firm Baker Newman Noyes, until April 2025. I left the position to move to Los Angeles to be closer to family (and the Hollywood Bowl). I also received a Master’s degree in data science in fall 2024 from Northeastern University, through its new Portland, Maine campus.
