About

I'm doing my MS in Business Analytics at UMass Amherst's Isenberg School of Management (4.0 GPA). Before this, I worked in grant administration at Aga Khan University, sales at Chevron, and product development at DuPont. That mix of industries is something most analytics students don't have, and it changes how I think about data โ€” I care about what happens after the analysis, not just the numbers themselves.

I'm looking for a Summer or Fall 2026 internship in analytics, operations, or AI automation. I'm OPT/CPT eligible. If that sounds like a fit, reach out.
