About Me

About Me

I am a recent graduate of Columbia Journalism School, specializing in Data Journalism. I hold an undergraduate degree in International Business, and my professional experience spans strategy consulting, business research, digital marketing, and copywriting across diverse industries. In addition to my business acumen, I have a strong passion for social justice and human rights, which led me to minor in Sociology and volunteer with multiple organizations dedicated to these causes. My interests extend beyond formal education, as I actively engage in self-learning in areas like film, literature, history, and languages, continuously broadening my perspectives. As an aspiring data journalist, I focus on topics related to human rights, consumers, education, ideologies, and social justice. I am committed to integrating my analytical research and data skills into impactful journalistic practices, aiming to shed light on critical societal issues through a data-driven lens.
