What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and fosters growth in data analytics.

I am a seasoned data analyst with a strong background in financial data management and analytics. Currently, I serve as a Data Analyst IV at Centene, where I developed a SAS Enterprise Guide program that successfully decommissioned over 54,000 duplicate vendors, resulting in $7.3 million in financial benefits. My work has significantly improved vendor data integrity and streamlined data processes for the Healthcare Analytics Team.

Prior to my role at Centene, I worked as a Data Analyst at Kobie, where I analyzed transactional data for high-profile clients such as LIXIL, Verizon, and Best Buy. My insights led to a 12% increase in customer retention rates and a 15% improvement in campaign ROI. I have a proven track record of delivering actionable insights and automating performance tracking reports, enabling data-driven decisions for over $50 million in client revenue.

With a solid foundation in SQL, Python, and various data analysis tools, I am passionate about leveraging data to drive business success and improve operational efficiency. I am always eager to take on new challenges and contribute to innovative projects that make a difference.
