I am a data scientist with the advanced analytics team here at Autodesk. I enjoy working with data and spreading awareness for data science and data driven applications.

In my spare time, I enjoy bouldering and playing with my two adorable cats.

I'm a senior data scientist at Autodesk with the Advanced Analytics team in the Digital Platforms and Experience (DPE) organization. I’ve been working for Autodesk for almost 2 years, and was an intern here the previous summer. As a data scientist, I work on developing and maintaining machine learning models to predict retention for the early warning system, which is used by sales and marketing organizations to better target customer communication. I was also lucky enough to work with the Autodesk Foundation this past year, helping Build Change create python scripts to integrate a third party app with Dynamo for Revit to automate the creation of 3D models from a 2D floorplan.

I’m a very data driven person and I’m passionate about spreading awareness in what data science can bring to the table (as well as its limitations). At Autodesk, I’ve led a series of internal data science education sessions, culminating in a hands-on project to practice the various data techniques that were presented.

I got my B.A. in math and econ from Dartmouth College in 2012, and my master’s degree in analytics from Northwestern University in 2016.
