About Leila

Hello there!

I am from Durham, North Carolina and attended Stern School of Business at NYU. I completed my MBA in Aviation (IT focus) from ERAU to explore how data analytics can be applied to the aviation industry. Currently, I live in Marina del Rey, California and am enrolled in an M.S. in Aeronautics, with a focus on research. 

I am passionate about predictive analytics, financial forecasting techniques, and the application of neural functions to system optimization. The travel industry has been close to my heart since I was 15, when I noticed the underutilization of emerging technology for interpreting vast amounts of data that had recently become available. I am currently pursuing opportunities in infrastructure improvement projects and air transportation through data driven strategies and execution.
