What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply SQL and process-improvement skills to drive measurable operational and data-quality gains while growing into higher-impact analytic or operations leadership.

I am a business analyst with hands-on experience applying SQL, Excel automation, and workflow optimization to improve operational efficiency in healthcare and government technology environments.

I have managed property-level operations, P&L, and teams as a general manager while also delivering technical analysis—designing automated reports, conducting provider claims testing, and translating business requirements into system changes.

My background combines a Bachelor of Business Administration in Management Information Systems with technical skills in SQL, C#, Java, HTML/CSS and experience in data mapping, requirements gathering, and technical writing.

I bring leadership, attention to detail, and a results-oriented approach—focused on measurable improvements in productivity, revenue per available room (RevPar), and system accuracy.
