What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovative problem-solving.

I am an Econometrics graduate with a strong foundation in data science, statistical modeling, and data visualization. My academic journey at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam has equipped me with the skills to leverage diverse data sources and generate actionable insights. I am passionate about delivering innovative solutions that drive client decisions and enhance business outcomes.

In my current role as a Screening Operations Analyst at Adyen, I conduct in-depth screenings and due diligence on customers, streamlining risk assessment processes to reduce review times for low-risk cases. My previous experience as a Junior PowerBI Specialist at Churned allowed me to develop operational and marketing analytics dashboards, utilizing predictive analytics to forecast churn rates and improve decision-making for client businesses.
