What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers growth opportunities in data analysis and finance, within a collaborative and innovative environment.

I am a dedicated finance analyst intern currently working with Universal Music Spain, where I support the Talent & Music team in financial reporting and budgeting. My role involves ensuring accurate royalty liquidations to artists using financial tools like SAP, and providing insights that shape artist campaigns, aligning them with key label priorities.

Previously, I served as an Insights & Analytics Intern at SKY UK, where I extracted, analyzed, and visualized performance data to inform decision-making across various departments. My experience also includes building cost-benefit dashboards and financial forecasts as a Data Analyst at South-West Coffee, utilizing R and Excel to support cost reduction strategies.

With a BSc in Mathematics and Management from the University of Exeter, I possess strong numerical and problem-solving skills, complemented by my proficiency in data visualization tools like Power BI and Tableau. I am passionate about leveraging data to drive business insights and enhance operational efficiency.
