What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply data analysis and reporting alongside sports science to support research and improve athlete training outcomes in a collaborative, growth-focused environment.

I’m a Detail-oriented Human Kinetics graduate with a strong foundation in fitness coaching, athlete performance evaluation, and data analysis. I combine sports science knowledge with data-driven insights to improve training outcomes and operational efficiency, while staying focused on clear communication and disciplined follow-through.

In my Data Entry / Research Assistant role, I compiled and maintained structured records for over 10,000 individuals, produced monthly analytical reports on operational trends, and ensured data integrity and confidentiality. Alongside this, I’ve coached and supported athlete development at Gaij FC and coordinated participant data for an NGO—helping turn information into better program tracking and more inclusive community engagement.
