What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values data-driven storytelling and offers opportunities for growth in a collaborative environment.

I am a multilingual data analyst and journalist with over five years of experience in transforming complex datasets into actionable insights and crafting compelling narratives. My expertise lies in data-driven storytelling, fact-checking, and ensuring content accuracy. I am a native Japanese speaker, fluent in English and Korean, which allows me to communicate effectively across diverse cultural and professional environments.

Currently, I work as a Data Analyst for the Canadian Accelerator & Incubator Network, where I develop and maintain a comprehensive data analytics framework. My role involves ensuring accurate tracking of performance metrics and program effectiveness through API automation and manual data aggregation processes. Additionally, I design dynamic performance dashboards that turn raw data into actionable insights, enabling strategic decision-making for clients.

Previously, I served as a Data Journalist and Editor, where I crafted insightful articles on Canadian immigration trends for the Japanese community and visualized data using Tableau and R. My commitment to accuracy and detail has been a cornerstone of my career, as I have led data-driven storytelling initiatives and conducted thorough editing and proofreading to ensure the highest quality of work.
