What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth, collaboration, and the chance to make impactful contributions to organizational efficiency.

I am a highly analytical and results-oriented Business Analyst with over 10 years of progressive experience in financial analysis, data management, and operational improvement. My expertise includes over 3 years specializing in business intelligence and data-driven insights, where I have proven my ability to identify trends, resolve discrepancies, and optimize processes to mitigate risks and enhance efficiency across various sectors including not-for-profit, higher education, and corporate environments.

Throughout my career, I have developed a strong proficiency in tools such as SQL, Tableau, Power BI, and MS Excel, which I utilize for data visualization, extraction, and comprehensive report generation. I am eager to leverage my strong problem-solving, communication, and time management skills to contribute to risk control initiatives, optimize business processes, and reduce organizational liabilities in a dynamic municipal setting.
