About Me

Your Photo Here

I'm a data scientist at the intersection of behavioral intelligence, forensic analysis, and advanced analytics. With a PhD in Clinical Psychology and extensive experience in high-stakes healthcare and forensic settings, I bring a rare combination of skills to data-driven problem solving: the clinical expertise to understand human behavior patterns, the technical capabilities to build predictive models, and the research rigor to generate actionable intelligence.

My career spans crisis intervention, forensic assessments for criminal courts, federal emergency management, and data science—giving me a unique lens on how behavioral analysis, statistical modeling, and investigative methodologies converge to solve complex problems in public safety, national security, and public health.

I've assessed patients in crisis, conducted 70+ forensic competency assessments, led multi-agency emergency response operations, and analyzed datasets of 500+ cases to identify risk patterns. Now I'm applying that same intuition, rigor, and technical skill to data science—building models that don't just process numbers, but predict human behavior, identify threats, and generate insights that protect communities and inform critical decisions.

Whether developing threat assessment protocols, analyzing behavioral data for risk prediction, or building statistical models for public health interventions, I bridge the gap between understanding people and leveraging technology to serve the mission.

What Makes Me Different

Most data scientists understand algorithms. Most behavioral specialists understand people. I understand both—and how they work together to predict threats, assess risks, and protect lives.

I've made split-second decisions with incomplete information in crisis situations. I've assessed defendants for criminal court and written reports that inform judicial decisions. I've coordinated federal emergency responses across multiple agencies. And I've analyzed behavioral data to build models that predict risk and inform intervention strategies.

My clinical and forensic background means I can:

  • Work with sensitive data ethically and securely
  • Recognize behavioral patterns and anomalies that others miss
  • Translate complex technical findings for non-technical stakeholders and decision-makers
  • Operate effectively in high-pressure, high-stakes environments where accuracy matters
  • Bridge the gap between human behavior analysis and data-driven intelligence solutions

I don't just analyze data. I understand the human context behind it—and I know how to turn that understanding into predictive models, threat assessments, and actionable intelligence that protects organizations, communities, and national interests.
