About

Data Scientist building systems that transform data into actionable insights for social impact and business growth. Currently working on environmental advocacy and public health at the Energy & Environment Lab.

I hold an M.S. in Computational Analysis and Public Policy (MSCAPP) from the University of Chicago and a B.A. in Economics (Honors) from ITAM in Mexico. My work combines technical expertise with a passion for using data science to solve real-world problems—from environmental advocacy to public health compliance and business intelligence.
