My path into data started in healthcare operations at Vitalant, where I built Power BI dashboards to track blood product logistics across a 5,000-member workforce. That work pointed me toward Business Analytics for my bachelor’s degree — and eventually into K–12 education.
I spent three years working in school districts — maintaining the systems, running the reporting cycles, building the forecasts that fed into staffing and capacity planning. The work was unglamorous in the best possible way: getting the data right so the people who needed it could trust it.
I recently completed my Master of Science in Learning Analytics and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education. The degree deepened my technical work and sharpened the question that’s guided me since my first dashboard: will this actually help the people in the classroom?
That question sits at the center of my career: helping people understand their data. In education, that means making numbers legible to a principal who needs to act on them, or a coordinator who needs to trust them — so better decisions get made for students and teachers.
Originally from Philadelphia, I now live in the Hudson Valley with my wife, son, two dogs, three cats, an ever-growing collection of video games (❤️ Nintendo), and board games. I’ve played bass and sung in bands over the years, picked up some recording experience along the way, and recently rediscovered the acoustic guitar — I’ve been playing open mics and enjoying every minute of it. If any of this sounds cool or interesting to you, I’d love to hear from you!
