I'm a Data Scientist & AI Product Builder with 5+ years shipping production ML systems. I architect RocBot, a production RAG chatbot serving Rochester, NY, and I’ve won the M&T Tech Grant for Catalyst, a social platform pitched at NextCorps AI Startup Jam. I develop predictive models that inform municipal policy decisions and build scalable data products that drive real-world outcomes. When I'm not building AI systems, I co-found Unsung SheCodes, publish thought leadership on AI ethics, and mentor others to bridge the compute divide. I enjoy turning complex data challenges into accessible solutions for communities and organizations.
