About
Social science graduate transitioning into data science. I combine a solid theoretical foundation in logic and economics with hands-on experience in Python-based data analysis. My interests lie at the intersection of evidence, strategy, and ethical decision-making. Whether modeling customer churn or visualizing trade flow dynamics, I aim to support clear, reasoned planning through data-driven insights.
