What I'm looking for

Seeking a Data Analyst role leveraging analytical skills in a collaborative environment focused on data-driven decision-making.

I am a detail-oriented Data Analyst with a strong educational background in Business Analytics and Data Science. My expertise lies in extracting actionable insights from large datasets using SQL, Python, and R, and creating impactful visualizations with Tableau and PowerBI to drive strategic decisions.

During my tenure at QL2 Software, I analyzed airline industry trends, executing SQL queries on over 20 million records and developing Python scripts that reduced data cleaning time by 70%. At Shea Radiance, I created interactive Tableau dashboards that highlighted key areas for strategic expansion and operational optimization.

I hold an Advanced Data Science Certificate from Monroe University and a Master of Science in Business Analytics from the University of Maryland. My projects include a beauty product recommender system and predictive models for mental health detection and maternal health risk assessment.
