What I'm looking for

I'm looking for hands-on, goal-oriented work where I can combine field observation, data analysis, testing, and cross-functional collaboration to improve products, processes, and operational performance.

At The Home Depot, I build labor models for the Pro Sales division, translating store activity into staffing and labor-cost forecasts. I also create Excel tools and Tableau dashboards that help stakeholders track performance by store and fiscal week.

I design A/B pilot tests, collect behavioral and demographic data, and compare results with legacy data to identify what worked and what needs improvement. Using SQL and Python, I pull, clean, and analyze large datasets to surface opportunities for store investment, productivity, and process improvement.

Before moving into data analysis, I led product engineering work at The Home Depot and Electrolux, from product specifications and validation testing to packaging performance, regulatory compliance, and manufacturing readiness. I enjoy hands-on work in the field as much as the calculations and analysis behind it.

Across product development and manufacturing environments, I've worked with cross-functional teams, suppliers, vendors, quality teams, sales, and leadership to turn testing and operational findings into practical improvements. I'm team-oriented, goal-oriented, and comfortable presenting analysis for feedback before final decisions.
