Senior Data Analyst·American Airlines

I’m a Senior Data Analyst at American Airlines, where I turn data into decisions that help keep planes flying and cargo moving. My day-to-day involves performing data analysis, building dashboards, analyzing trends, and making sure the numbers tell a story that leadership can actually use to drive impactful decisions at American Airlines Cargo. I came to the U.S. as an international student, navigating the job market one genuine conversation at a time. Along the way, I learned that networking isn’t about asking for favors – it’s about building real relationships and providing value before you ever need anything in return. Now I share what I’ve learned about breaking into data roles, effective networking, and how AI is changing our industry. I write about the strategies that worked for me and the mindset shifts that made all the difference. I believe the best professional relationships start with curiosity and genuine interest in what others are building. Whether it’s discussing the latest trends in analytics or sharing insights about career growth, I’m always up for a thoughtful conversation.
