Turning raw data into stories that move people

I'm Medha, a recent graduate from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign based in Atlanta, with a background in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, Statistics, and a lifelong habit of making things.

I grew up painting, moved into photography and digital media, and eventually realized that what I loved about art was the same thing I loved about data: finding the story inside the structure. I'm fascinated by human behavior, how people work, what drives their decisions, and how the right insight, presented the right way, can change outcomes.

I studied I/O Psychology because workplaces are personal. The way a team communicates, the way a process is designed, the way someone feels when they open a report, that all matters. I studied Statistics because intuition isn't enough. And I approach analytics the way I approach a canvas: with intention, composition, and a lot of attention to what the audience actually needs to see.

I'm looking for a role where I can sit at the intersection of all of this, where data, design, and understanding people aren't separate skills but the foundation of one thoughtful practice.
