I’m a seasoned Data & Payables Analyst with over six years of experience in financial administration, accounts payable, and technical support—now specializing in transforming complex data into strategic business insights. My career has spanned roles in customer support, external auditing, and financial analysis, culminating in a strong foundation in financial systems and data analytics.

In recent years, I’ve pivoted into freelance data analytics, executing end-to-end projects that drive measurable impact across sales, marketing, and operations. I’m deeply interested in using tools like SQL, Python, Power BI, Tableau, and Excel to uncover patterns, automate reports, and optimize decision-making processes. I’ve completed immersive job simulations with Tata and Deloitte, sharpening my skills in executive-level data visualization and forensic analytics.

I thrive at the intersection of finance and data—building dashboards that improve clarity by up to 15%, reconciling complex accounts, and leading process improvement initiatives that have saved costs and improved compliance. My professional ethos blends technical precision with client-centric communication, and I’m known for delivering actionable recommendations that stakeholders understand and trust.
