Personal

My personal research ambitions outside of my direct experience and projects focus on learning Data Science and Machine Learning by reading a variety of articles, taking coding certifications via Data Camp and applying knowledge to scenarios at my work.

Outside of Data Science, I love to workout, do outside activities such as golf, soccer, mountain bike, kayak, fish etc. and travel with family and friends.
