About

I am a first generation, neurodiverse Mexican American. I work full-time as a Data Analyst and study part-time in the Physical Sciences Division’s MSc in Analytics program. I have a BA in International Relations from Stanford University, and an MSc in Comparative and International Education from the University of Oxford. This very interdisciplinary background of mine has fostered a passion in education, the workforce, behavioral science, cognitive development, social mobility, and now analytics.
