Bio:

I am a Master of Data Science in Health (MDSH) student at UCLA with a background in Statistics from the University of California, Davis. I am interested in applying data science and machine learning to healthcare, particularly in predictive modeling and real-world clinical data analysis.

My recent work includes building end-to-end machine learning pipelines using MIMIC-IV data to predict 30-day hospital readmission. I enjoy working with large-scale datasets, developing interpretable models, and translating data insights into actionable outcomes.

Previously, I gained hands-on experience through internships where I worked on data analysis, data cleaning, and deriving insights to support decision-making. These experiences strengthened my ability to work with real-world data and communicate findings effectively.

In my free time, I enjoy watching films, exploring new restaurants, and photography. I am currently seeking internship opportunities in data science, healthcare analytics, or related fields.
