What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage data insights to drive strategic decisions and improve processes within a collaborative team environment.

As a dedicated Data Analyst with a Bachelor of Commerce in Actuarial Science from Victoria University of Wellington, I specialize in financial and insurance analytics. My expertise lies in utilizing tools such as Power BI, Excel, SQL, Snowflake, and R to extract meaningful insights from large datasets. I have a proven track record of developing interactive dashboards and automating data workflows, which has significantly improved reporting accuracy and efficiency in my current role at Resolution Life.

In my position as an Actuarial Analyst, I conduct financial analysis and reserve calculations under IFRS-17 and USGAAP, ensuring compliance and accuracy. I have successfully developed SQL and R scripts that reduced manual processing time by five days, allowing for more timely and accurate financial reporting. My analytical skills enable me to identify trends and anomalies, delivering actionable insights that drive strategic decision-making and enhance product performance.

Beyond my professional experience, I am committed to continuous learning and improvement. I enjoy tackling complex mathematical problems as a Freelance Data Annotator and have developed a personal finance tracker project that showcases my skills in SQL and Python. I am passionate about leveraging data insights to foster process improvements and contribute to organizational success.
