I am a data scientist with a natural curiosity about how the world works and won't stop working on a problem until I've figured it out. Hard work is vital, but being able to relax and have fun is just as important. My experience as an astronomy researcher gave me the tools to perform complex data analysis and modeling, but just as importantly, the ability to communicate these ideas to people in and outside of the field. I seek out projects with a tangible human impact, even if it's just making a routine task a little easier..
