Hobbies
I enjoy reading Kierkegaard on a picnic blanket, cooking turkey chili, hiking with my friends, and doing a little bit of coding and web design in my free time. A little bit about my academic and professional background: I graduated from Princeton in 2013 with a bachelor's in Near Eastern Studies. I took a job in a completely related field, operations, at an industrial supply company called McMaster-Carr. At this company, I fell in love with finding creative solutions to everyday problems (How do you get thousands of packages through a half-built warehouse without a working conveyor or any packing stations? How do you lead a department to complete 100% of its work every day when it's only been getting through 70% of its work on a good day?). While putting my brain to work with these engaging questions, I decided to pursue a Master of Information and Data Science from UC Berkeley. It might be helpful to think of data science as the intersection of statistics and programming. Now, I'm pursuing even harder questions at Yale Divinity School.
