Data analyst and economist who turns Python, SQL, and Power BI into clear insights, forecasts, and decision-ready dashboards.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Analyst, technophile, and economist with a strong passion for technology and data-driven insights. I leverage Python, SQL, Power BI, and Excel to uncover patterns, make informed decisions, and translate complex data into meaningful narratives.
During my Junior Analyst (Internship) at Kenya Trade Network Agency (KenTrade), I supported national trade facilitation by tracking strategic plans, monitoring compliance, and analyzing institutional performance data. I contributed to quarterly performance reports and the development of KPI dashboards used in internal decision-making, and I assisted in internal audit processes to strengthen my understanding of governance and accountability.
Alongside analytics, I build structure and trust through leadership. As Chairperson, Finance Committee for Student Government, I lead financial planning and budgeting for student activities, promoting transparency and efficient resource utilization while supporting departments in drafting and optimizing budgets.
I bring both analytical rigor and collaboration to every task—supported by Advanced Data Analysis and Professional Data Analysis certifications, along with a foundation in economic and business research. I’m energized by roles where I can deliver actionable insights, communicate clearly, and continuously improve decision-making through data.
