What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values data-driven decision-making and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a data-driven and results-oriented professional with a strong background in data analysis, project management, and stakeholder engagement. My international experience has equipped me with the ability to adapt and solve problems effectively while collaborating across diverse teams. I am passionate about leveraging data to drive commercial success and enhance operational efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed various educational projects, including teaching at bilingual schools in Costa Rica and South Korea. I have designed and delivered lesson plans that adhere to high academic standards while mentoring students to support their personal and academic development. My analytical skills have been instrumental in tracking performance data, leading to actionable insights that optimize student engagement and learning outcomes.

In addition to my teaching experience, I have organized fundraising initiatives that have raised significant amounts for charity. My ability to analyze data and identify growth opportunities has led to increased participation and funding. I am now eager to leverage my analytical and organizational skills in a dynamic business environment where I can contribute to impactful projects.
