Academic Background:

Professional Background:

After graduating from UTSA, for the first time, I worked for one year as an Operations Research Analyst at Randolph AFB, TX where I worked for the Air Education Training Command. As a first-year analyst, or data scientist, I quickly learned that I needed to learn on-the-job (OTB) platforms that I had a little experience on or none. Such platforms consist of Visual Basic Applications (VBA), R-studio, Power-BI, Tableau and the Air Force’s own platform ~ Envision.

I am currently in the Palace Acquire Program and have experience in the Premier College Intern Program (PCIP). I found this job through UTSA’s website, Handshake, during Covid.
