Background
I finished a BS in mathematics and MS in statistics to become a data scientist...
... to later complete doctoral work in hospitality and teach at the university level...
... to become a consultant helping casinos turn data and AI into better decisions.
I am a consultant, researcher, and professor focused on data science and AI solutions in the casino and hospitality industry.
I studied mathematics at UNLV, earned a master's degree in statistics from North Carolina State University, and pursued doctoral work in Hospitality Administration at UNLV's William F. Harrah College of Hospitality.
My research interests include predictive and statistical modeling, machine learning applications to hospitality, revenue management, gaming analytics, and hotel demand forecasting.
I have taught and supported statistics, entrepreneurship, mathematics, and hospitality courses; founded student organizations; served in academic and community roles; and helped organize events that connect students with professional opportunities.

I grew up in Las Vegas and have also spent formative time abroad, including Barcelona. I care about culture, language, soccer, music, community-building, and making technical work feel more human and useful.
