About Me:
I have been working in various organizational processes for over 20 years from non-profit (education, social-service, non-governmental and government) to for-profit (restaurant, manufacturing, logistics, international and domestic). Starting as a cashier for McDonald’s in high school, then delivering pizzas while instructing foundational math to high school students in college, and prior to covid-19 pandemic designing logistics transportation solutions for marquee grocery chains for five years. I am very grateful to now teach data analytics with added experience, techniques, and mindset from my past various organizations to students interested in business analytics careers.
