What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and offers opportunities for professional growth in data analytics.

I am a Data Analytics Master's student at IESEG, driven by a passion for transforming complex data into actionable insights. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in SQL, Python, and Tableau, which I am eager to apply in a professional setting. I thrive in multicultural environments and enjoy collaborating with diverse teams to tackle analytical challenges.

During my time at Western Power Distribution and Merkle, I honed my skills as a Junior Business Intelligence Developer, where I contributed to the creation of Power BI dashboards and managed BI report activities. My projects, such as the SQL Sales Performance Dashboard and the Influencer Campaign Dashboard, showcase my ability to analyze large datasets and deliver impactful visualizations that drive strategic decision-making.
