What I'm looking for

I seek a role focused on data integrity and automated reporting in a collaborative, transparent organization where I can apply analytics skills and grow in finance-adjacent work.

I am a data operations professional with extensive experience in data entry, accuracy validation, and summary reporting across international development and research contexts. I have a proven record of improving data integrity by streamlining protocols and reconciling inconsistencies to deliver reliable datasets for decision-makers.

I have worked in challenging field environments — from commercial vessels collecting fisheries data to remote evaluation sites — and I bring strong technical skills in advanced spreadsheet functions, SQL, Looker Studio, and Google Analytics to automate repetitive tasks and accelerate reporting.

After a planned career break during which I expanded my analytical toolkit and completed an SQL Nanodegree, I am energized to return to work in data operations or finance-adjacent roles where accuracy, privacy, and clear communication drive impact.
