Summary
My academic background in astrophysics has equipped me with strong analytical skills and a unique perspective on data. It's taught me to look beyond the obvious, efficiently problem solve, and appreciate the beauty of well-visualized data. I am now eager to apply these skills in a professional setting, where I can contribute to a team that values innovation, and the power of data to make a difference.
