Biography

I am a Data Scientist at Nationwide, where I specialize in building predictive models and leveraging Generative AI (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) to solve complex business problems.

In May 2023, I graduated with a Ph.D. Sociology from The Ohio State University. where I was advised by Sam Clark. My dissertation focused on “Computational Social Science for Sociological Research.” I also served on the openVA team, developing software and tools to support global health initiatives.

Prior to my doctoral work, I was a consultant advising multinational enterprises (MNEs) on corporate sustainability and global business strategies. Based in Columbus, Ohio, I spend my free time playing tennis and golf.
