What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values analytical thinking and offers opportunities for growth in data-driven environments.

As an aspiring data analyst with over a decade of experience in computational research and technical writing, I am currently transitioning from academia to data-driven roles. My background includes a proven track record in interdisciplinary research projects, conducting molecular simulations, and producing scientific publications in top-tier journals such as Nature Chemistry and JACS. I am currently completing the Google Data Analytics Certificate and training in Power BI, aiming to leverage my analytical thinking, problem-solving, and data visualization skills in business or research-driven environments.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in various technical tools, including SQL, Power BI, and Python, while also engaging in project management and collaboration within interdisciplinary teams. My experience as a co-principal investigator and junior researcher has equipped me with the ability to lead research projects, manage budgets, and co-write final reports. I am passionate about applying my knowledge and skills to contribute to innovative data solutions and drive impactful results.
