How I Think

Why Does Data Science Fit Me?

Data science aligns with how I naturally approach problems, work with information, and decide what matters.

01

Problem Decomposition

I naturally break problems into smaller, testable parts and look for patterns across them. I believe Data science rewards this way of thinking, as complex questions are answered by isolating variables, modeling relationships, and iterating toward clarity.

02

Working With Information

I’m drawn to making sense of large or messy information. Data science appeals to me because it focuses on organizing data, extracting meaning, and communicating insights clearly-- not just collecting numbers.

03

Applying Structure in Practice

This site reflects how I think in practice: information is organized intentionally, unnecessary elements are removed, and structure is used to guide understanding. I believe Data science follows the same principles of using structure and analysis to turn complexity into clarity.
