About Me

I am

Rachel Nguyen

Based in Southern California

I am passionate about keeping an engaged mindset. I am always open to learning and developing myself, which translates in both my work and personal life. Whether it is a new skill or experience, I am usually not afraid to step outside of my comfort zone to find a new interest.

When I am not spending time with my family and friends, I throw myself deeply into one of my hobbies:

Reading
You can always count on me for a book recommendation. I enjoy reading Fictions, Non-Fictions, and Classics and turn to #BookTok and GoodReads for my next book. Currently, I am working my way through the Harry Potter series to fill in plot holes I missed from the movies.
Photography
I started photography recently and ever since, have been obsessed. I currently shoot with a Nikon Zfc.
Coding
I have spend my time developing my analytic skills by experimenting with Python packages and libraries. I enjoy using Data Science blogs and Kaggle as guidelines in my learning journey.
Basketball
My sport of choice is basketball. I grew up watching the Lakers and enjoyed playing on teams through high school. Fun fact - I was the captain of my high school team. These days, you will usually find me shooting hoops and running pick up games.
Travel
I am so lucky to live so close to the coastline, so I enjoy spending time in different sceneries on my time off. You will usually find me in the outdoors on scenic hikes or traveling to destinations to explore the culture and city life.
Running
I am a terrible runner but running is a hobby that I (stubbornly) won't let go. I think it's because running gives me time to be by myself and think clearly. I usually run for leisure but sometimes focus on my time and my endurance.
