What I'm looking for

I seek a role leveraging research and data analysis to inform strategy, with mentorship, cross-functional collaboration, and opportunities to refine technical and client-facing skills.

I am a methodical junior strategic planner with over a year of agency experience turning data into actionable insights for multi-sector clients.

I collect, validate, and analyze primary and secondary data to guide strategies, prepare client reports and presentations, and present data-informed proposals that have led to new business wins.

My hands-on technical work includes Excel data validation, pivot tables, formulas, statistical tests, Power BI visualizations, web scraping automation, and cleaning large multi-country datasets.

I hold a BA in Communication Research and certifications in Excel and introductory data analytics; I am eager to refine my research, data analysis, and strategic planning skills in a growth-focused role.
