@genevaburleigh
Communications-savvy Data Analyst with a passion for actionable insights.
What I'm looking for
As a Data Analyst, I thrive on transforming messy, real-world data into actionable insights that drive decision-making. My experience includes spearheading a fundraising analytics project at Mt Washington Preschool & Child Care Center, where I analyzed over 20 years of donation data to guide strategic planning. I successfully migrated unstructured donor data into a normalized PostgreSQL database and developed a comprehensive reporting suite using SQL and Python, which significantly improved our understanding of donor retention and revenue trends.
In addition to my analytical skills, I have a strong background in storytelling and stakeholder collaboration. My role as President of the Board of Directors for a nonprofit childcare organization allowed me to direct strategy during a period of expansion, increasing enrollment by 30%. I am passionate about helping mission-driven organizations thrive through clean data and compelling reports, ensuring clarity of vision and actionable strategies.
