Data Analyst and Economist turning research into actionable insights for decision-making.
ColombiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an Economist from Universidad de los Andes with training in econometrics, statistical analysis, and quantitative research. I use structured analytical approaches to interpret quantitative results and communicate findings clearly to diverse stakeholders. I also have experience with SQL, Stata, Python, and Excel.
In my recent role as a Data Analyst at La Red Electrónica, I conducted commercial and market data analysis to identify trends, evaluate business performance, and support strategic decision-making. I analyzed customer behavior and operational data to generate data-driven insights and recommendations, including contributing to increased online sales performance between October and December.
I’ve also strengthened my applied research experience through consulting and public-policy work, including market research and performance analysis during the Innovation Summer Bootcamp and evidence-based synthesis as a Youth Council member. I’m especially drawn to remote roles in data analysis, research, and business intelligence—where I can simulate scenarios, translate research into action, and help teams make better decisions.
