What I'm looking for

I’m seeking entry-level opportunities in Data Analytics, Business Intelligence, Data & IT, or Operations Analytics, including internships and suitable remote roles. I’m particularly interested in applying Excel, Power BI, Python, and my developing SQL skills to real business problems.

At Shuka Shuka Tours, I support Airbnb property operations and organise expense information in Excel. I track costs including cleaning, maintenance, transportation, and utilities.

I analyse operational expenses to identify recurring costs, unusual expenses, and potential improvement areas. I also apply data-cleaning techniques to prepare information for reporting and analysis.

For my Airbnb Operations Expense Analysis portfolio project, I cleaned and prepared expense data, identified duplicate IDs and inconsistent records, and standardised categories and dates. I created Power BI visualisations and a dashboard to communicate operational findings.

I completed CS50P — Introduction to Programming with Python and a Data Analysis Certificate, and I’m developing my Python and SQL skills. I’m interested in applying Excel and Power BI to real business problems.
