Hi there! I'm Keiana Samoy, an enthusiastic data analyst with a profound interest in business, space exploration, and creating a positive impact on our world. My educational journey started at California State University, Northridge (CSUN), where I completed two undergraduate degrees, including a B.S. in Business Analytics and Honors in Business.

​

During my junior year at CSUN, I had the privilege of participating in a paid fellowship at the Autonomy Research Center for STEAHM (ARCS). There, I collaborated on research projects with NASA engineers and scientists. The fusion of business and technical work proved to be exhilarating. My fascination with NASA was so profound that I eagerly submitted my resume for internship opportunities, metaphorically tossing it into the black hole of possibilities.

​

A few weeks later, a call from a hiring manager altered my career trajectory. I was offered the role of a business analyst intern at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). Without a moment's hesitation, I wholeheartedly accepted the opportunity. Over the course of my year-long internship, I immersed myself in a variety of data-driven projects with a focus on areas such as finance, recruiting, lab scheduling, and more. My passion and drive captured the attention of my manager, culminating in the offer and acceptance of a full-time position.

​

​And thus, my story began. I hope you'll follow along on my journey of self-discovery as I navigate the wonders of our beautiful universe. Let's dare mighty things, together!
