From Airport Operations to Data Analytics:
A Journey Rooted in Curiosity
(These are the roots, even if they don’t show up in a repo.)
I’m a data analyst with a restless mind and a hands-on approach. My path has been anything but linear, more like a rugged patch of land shaped by movement, curiosity, and growth through experience.
For over 20 years, while planting seeds, probing patterns, clearing noise, and raising two young humans, I worked in airport operations, navigating complexity, urgency, and ever-shifting conditions. That experience taught me two essential things: how to keep growing without a perfect map, and how deep service can nurture also the one who offers it.
Where I Grow Ideas: My Learning Lab & Home Studio
Some of my most important learning happened off-screen through stubborn nights, quiet experiments, and a growing need to reshape the balance between how I live and how I work.
In the past months, I’ve completed professional certificates with Google, IBM, and the University of Michigan learning how to wrangle data, design processes, and tell stories through Python, SQL, and structured thinking.
But learning doesn’t pause at a certificate. Right now, I’m exploring AI automation and business intelligence not to tick boxes, but to connect data with decisions that matter.
What I’ve studied so far and where I’m headed:
Completed
— Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate
— Python for Everybody Specialization – University of Michigan
— Generative AI Automation Specialization– Vanderbilt University
Ongoing
— IBM Data Science Professional Certificate
— Google Business Intelligence PC
— AI Agents and Agentic AI in Python
