I am a Data Scientist and TEDx Speaker from Tbilisi, Georgia, currently completing my Masters in Healthcare Data Science in the US. My journey has been anything but straight. I started in psychology, switched to economics after one semester, finished my economics degree, then jumped into data analytics. Three fields. Three fresh starts. Each time feeling like the least qualified person in the room. That journey led me to give a TEDx talk about something I had lived personally - the powerful intersection of psychology and data science, and why understanding humans is inseparable from understanding data. Outside of work I am deeply passionate about human psychology, the science of performance, and what actually stops capable people from reaching their potential. I am also a podcast host, emcee, public speaker, and a fencer - a sport I picked up at 25 in the US. I believe the most interesting question in both data science and human behavior is the same one: what patterns are running beneath the surface that we cannot see? In datasets and in people - the answer to that question changes everything.
