What I'm looking for

I seek a data/analytics role where I can apply ML and automation to drive measurable financial and operational improvements, work cross-functionally, and grow into senior analytic responsibilities.

I am a business analytics professional with three years of hands-on experience in data analysis, automation, and machine learning, focused on delivering measurable financial and operational impact. I translate complex data into executive-ready insights and have practical experience across public sector analytics and financial services.

My work includes designing an Excel VBA case-tracking system used in real time by 200+ attorneys, automating reporting with R and SQL, and building predictive models that achieved strong accuracy in academic and applied projects. I have rebalanced client portfolios, drafted investment policy statements, and supported retirement plan design for large AUM accounts.

I hold an MSc in Business Analytics and a BA in Economics, and I bring technical skills across Python, SQL, R, Power BI, Databricks, and Excel VBA, combined with a results-oriented approach to process automation, predictive modeling, and stakeholder consulting.
