What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build KPI dashboards and automated reporting, use SQL/Python/statistics to uncover trends, and communicate insights clearly to stakeholders—so teams can move faster with data-driven decisions.

I’m a Data Analyst with an MS in Business Analytics and an accounting foundation, and I focus on turning complex data into clear, decision-ready insights. Through my Graduate Fellow work at Suffolk University, I built data models, automated reporting workflows, and stakeholder-ready dashboards using SQL Server, Excel/Power Query, and BI tools.

I’m known for improving reporting turnaround and communication: I streamlined weekly reporting using ETL in Excel/Power Query across five data sources, reducing turnaround from 2 days to 4 hours, and I cut dashboard reporting from 2 hours to 20 minutes with automated refresh logic. I also perform statistical analyses (t-tests, confidence intervals) and validate data quality while documenting methodologies and templates—skills I strengthened further by tracking student performance KPIs and improving outcomes from 62% to 100%.
