What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining basketball performance analytics and data systems where I can drive decision-making, mentor athletes/staff, and implement reporting solutions for measurable performance and business improvements.

I am a basketball strategist and data-driven analyst with professional experience across sports performance, SQL-based analysis, reporting systems, and cross-functional technical collaboration. I translate complex performance and financial data into actionable insights that inform coaching decisions and business outcomes.

My background spans NCAA Division I athletics, player development, opponent scouting, and structured reporting implementation. I have led scouting and film analytics, developed evaluation frameworks for player and lineup performance, and integrated video analysis tools like Synergy SportsCode into matchup models.

In industry roles I partnered with sales, finance, and development teams to build reporting tools, implement a Contract Lifecycle Management system, and deliver forecasting models using SQL, Power BI, QlikView, and Excel. I mentor athletes, supervise staff, and drive process improvements that increase efficiency and decision-making clarity.
