I grew up in Savannah, Georgia, and did both my undergrad and my MSBA at Emory University. I learn best by doing. When something’s new to me, I start messing with it, pull it apart and put it back together, and that’s how I approach data too.

Cox Automotive · Goizueta MSBA
Built a B2B customer churn model on a four-person team using an Explainable Boosting Machine with expanding-window temporal cross-validation, optimized for PR-AUC and top-decile lift. Findings informed account-management prioritization for at-risk customers.
Aug 2024 – May 2025
Emory University · AI/NLP Lab
Built a RAG system over FDA regulatory meeting documents, reaching ~80% retrieval accuracy through iterative chunking and embedding refinement. Collected and processed FDA advisory committee transcripts for an ongoing study on predicting medical product efficacy, engineering NLP features that quantify how the committees deliberate.

Managed $100K+ in monthly procurement and supervised a team of nine, improving order processing times by 50% through restructured vendor communication. Assisted 100+ clients in manufacturing, legal, finance, and healthcare with computer and network issues.
Predicting medical product efficacy from the quality of FDA advisory committee deliberations, using NLP features built from meeting transcripts.
Retrieval-augmented generation over FDA meeting documents. About 80% retrieval accuracy after iterating on chunking and embeddings.
Experimented against state-of-the-art AI-text detectors and found a consistent method that lowered detection rates by upwards of 21%.
Tested jailbreak methods against frontier models, including GPT 4.1, Grok, Sonnet 4, and several image models.
