Analyst. Communicator.
Problem Solver.

I'm Evan — a data analyst who spent four years earning both a B.S. in Analytics and an MBA at Guilford College while competing on the golf team. I've learned that the most important skill isn't building the model — it's making the insights impossible to ignore.

After graduating, I've kept building. I spent time caddying on the professional golf circuit, sharpening my ability to perform under pressure, read complex situations in real time, and communicate clearly when the stakes are high. I've also been building AI-powered software tools — from booking automation platforms to data intelligence dashboards — applying the same analytical rigor I developed in the classroom to real business problems.

Whether I'm presenting findings to a Board of Trustees, designing a data pipeline, or translating technical architecture for a non-technical stakeholder, my goal is always the same: make the data useful.
