What I'm looking for

I am looking for a position where I can leverage data to inform decision-making, working in a collaborative and innovative team environment.

I am a dedicated Data Analyst with a strong foundation in data-informed decision making, honed through my MSc in Finance and Management and my recent role at Goldman Sachs. My journey in data analytics has been enriched by an intensive Data Analytics Professional Certificate from the London School of Economics, where I achieved a distinction and developed a robust project portfolio showcasing my technical abilities in Excel, SQL, Python, R, and Tableau.

In my role as an Event Technology Analyst at Goldman Sachs, I successfully managed over 15 events, utilizing in-depth data analytics to inform strategic decisions. My projects included analyzing historical fee data and attendance metrics, which directly influenced budget allocations and recruitment planning. I thrive on collaborating with diverse stakeholders to ensure the successful delivery of events, and I take pride in my ability to produce insightful reports that enhance efficiency and resource utilization.

My experience extends beyond corporate settings, having worked on significant research projects for the Bank of England and the NHS, where I applied advanced analytical techniques such as Natural Language Processing and regression modeling. I am passionate about leveraging data to drive impactful decisions and continuously seek opportunities to grow and contribute to innovative projects.
