I'm a Data Science Manager at Avant where I lead a team of data scientists to build machine learning models. I've worked on machine learning models across the lifecycle of Avant's operations: marketing, underwriting, fraud, income and post issuance. At Nielsen, I created the statistical methodology for their e-commerce product, which provides data on what American consumers are buying online. I have a Bachelor of Economics (Honors Class I) from the University of Sydney, where I graduated first in my economics Honors class, and a Masters of Arts in Economics from Northwestern University where I was supported by a Northwestern Fellowship and the Eleanor Sophia Wood Postgraduate Scholarship.
