What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth and allows me to utilize my analytical skills in a dynamic environment.

I am an Associate Data Analyst with a strong foundation in clinical psychology, currently transitioning into the tech industry. My academic journey, culminating in a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University, has equipped me with a unique perspective on data analysis, particularly in understanding human behavior through data-driven insights.

In my recent role at Calbright College, I have honed my analytical skills by working with various data visualization tools such as Tableau and Power BI, alongside programming languages like SQL and Python. My experience as a Clinical Intake Specialist has further enhanced my ability to manage and analyze data effectively, ensuring confidentiality and compliance with data privacy regulations.

I am passionate about leveraging my clinical expertise and analytical skills to contribute to data-driven initiatives that support organizational goals. I thrive in environments that value intellectual curiosity and innovation, and I am eager to bring my unique skill set to a technical position that challenges me and fosters professional growth.
