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 seven 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 received a master’s degree in data science in the Fall 2024 from Northeastern University, through its new Portland, Maine, campus.
I most recently managed business intelligence tools for the accounting firm Baker Newman Noyes, until April 2025, a role I left to return to Los Angeles.
