What I'm looking for
I am a results-oriented Economist with hands-on experience across consulting, project coordination, audit, business development and data analytics. I consistently support complex projects, manage client-facing operations, and deliver data-driven insights that improve operational efficiency.
In my recent role as a consultant, I managed and tracked 20+ concurrent project tasks, prepared weekly and monthly performance reports, and acted as a key point of contact for 10+ stakeholders, improving accountability and client satisfaction. I have reduced rework through process documentation and improved turnaround time using ticketing and CRM systems.
I hold certifications in Power BI data analytics and SAGE Intacct, and I bring strong skills in Jira, Power BI, SAGE systems and the Microsoft Office suite. I seek opportunities where I can contribute analytical insight, operational discipline and continuous improvement within a dynamic organization.
