What I'm looking for

Looking for a data-driven role that leverages my analytical skills and experience to drive business growth and achieve company objectives.

A seasoned professional with a strong background in operations management and a recent transition to data analysis and web research.

As a proven problem solver and multi-tasker, I apply operational expertise to enhance data strategies and support informed decision-making in a dynamic environment. With a strong educational background in textile science and engineering, I have also developed skills in data analysis and visualisation through various certifications and courses.

Throughout my professional experience, I have demonstrated excellent organisational skills, exemplary communication, and the ability to work in fast-paced environments. I am now looking to leverage my skills and experience to drive business growth and achieve company objectives in a data-driven role.
