Statistics & Data Science · UC Santa Barbara · Class of 2027
I build statistical models, data pipelines, and interactive dashboards that help organizations understand what their data is saying.
Selected Projects
Machine Learning · NLP · Python
A hybrid restaurant recommendation engine trained on 562,000+ Yelp reviews across 7,600 Philadelphia restaurants. Combines item-based collaborative filtering with content embeddings so users can describe cravings in plain language — "something warm and comforting" — and receive personalized results.

Examined investor-driven displacement, redlining legacy, and affordability collapse in Richmond — where home prices surged 52.6% in five years and eviction rates run nearly 3× the national average. Combined ArcGIS displacement mapping with Rosen-Roback economic analysis to propose data-backed policy interventions.
