What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, values data-driven decisions, and encourages collaboration.

I am an economics graduate from the University of Queensland with a strong passion for data analytics. My journey in data analysis began during my academic years, where I honed my skills in research, data cleaning, and visualization. I have a proven track record of utilizing SQL and Power BI to transform raw data into actionable insights, which has significantly contributed to evidence-based decision-making in various organizations.

Currently, I work as a Data Analyst at FusionPeak Consulting, where I design databases, streamline data collection methods, and analyze productivity levels to ensure KPIs are met. My previous roles, including positions at the Presidential Secretariat and MAS Holdings, have equipped me with a diverse skill set in operational analysis, report preparation, and stakeholder engagement. I thrive in environments where I can leverage my analytical skills to drive efficiency and improve outcomes.
