What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, encourages innovation, and values analytical insights.

I am a dedicated Business Intelligence Analyst with a Google Advanced Data Analytics Certificate and several years of experience in exploratory data analysis, data visualizations, and machine learning. My journey began with a Bachelor of Accountancy Honours Degree from the University of Zimbabwe, and I have since honed my skills in various analytical roles, including my current position at Bard Santner Markets Inc.

Throughout my career, I have successfully developed reconciliation models using SQL, Power BI, and Python, significantly improving internal control systems and financial performance analysis. My experience spans across multiple organizations, where I have contributed to financial forecasting, budget preparation, and variance analysis, always striving to provide actionable insights that drive business growth.
