## About

```text
On Upwork, I’ve delivered 170+ Excel automation, financial modeling, analytics, and reporting projects for international clients, maintaining a 100% Job Success Score across 75 client reviews. I automated recurring workflows with Power Query and VBA, including tools that processed datasets of 2M+ rows.

I built valuation models, cash flow trackers, and income statement generators that turn transaction data into reports that update automatically. I also created Excel-based HRMS tools and designed Power BI and Looker Studio dashboards connecting datasets, SQL sources, Google Ads, and Google Analytics.

At Independent Marketing Alliance, I designed Excel tracking systems for more than $5.6M in recurring fee payments and helped reduce quarterly cash reconciliation time by more than 50%. I hold an M.S. in Finance with a Data Analytics focus, and my experience also includes data management, procurement analysis, and university instruction.
