Detail-oriented analyst transitioning into data and business analysis to drive efficient decisions.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented professional transitioning into Data and Business Analysis, bringing a strong foundation in operational auditing and inventory management. I’m known for identifying discrepancies, optimizing ordering processes, and translating complex numbers into actionable improvements.
In retail leadership roles, I analyzed daily and weekly POS sales reports to spot purchasing trends, supported data-driven inventory decisions, and managed vendor relationships using performance and sales data. I also completed fraud detection training and troubleshot system issues to minimize downtime and protect accuracy.
On the analytics side, I’m building practical capability with tools and methods including SQL (BigQuery), Tableau, R (RStudio), and dashboarding in spreadsheets/Excel. I created sales charts and dashboards to give teams real-time access to key metrics, and I’m continuing to strengthen my data collection, cleaning, visualization, and data ethics skills through my Google Data Analytics work.
