What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values continuous learning and offers opportunities for growth in data analysis.

I am a motivated and detail-oriented graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Management Information Systems from the University of Central Oklahoma. My academic journey has equipped me with strong analytical, technical, and problem-solving skills, which I am eager to leverage in an entry-level Data Analysis role. I have a proven track record of leadership through my involvement in civic engagement and team training, which has honed my ability to work collaboratively and drive data-driven decision-making.

During my internship as a Fuel Data Analyst at Love's Travel Stops, I analyzed large datasets related to fuel pricing and sales, built SQL queries for reporting, and created dashboards using Tableau to present insights to stakeholders. My commitment to continuous learning and proactive approach has allowed me to identify trends and provide actionable recommendations, ultimately supporting data-driven pricing strategies that optimize revenue. I am excited to bring my skills and passion for data analysis to a dynamic team.
