Motivated Economics and Finance graduate with data analysis experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Economics and Finance graduate with nearly two years of progressive experience in data analysis, financial reporting, and research support within applied development and business environments. I specialize in transforming raw datasets into actionable insights using Microsoft Excel (advanced functions, pivot tables, dashboards), Power BI (interactive visualizations and reporting dashboards), and STATA (statistical analysis and econometric modeling). My academic training at Information and Communications University, combined with hands-on research experience, has strengthened my ability to conduct cost-benefit analysis, interpret financial and socio-economic trends, and support evidence-based decision-making. I bring strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and a structured approach to problem-solving in data-intensive environments.
Professionally, I have supported research and business projects through data collection, validation, cleaning, and advanced analysis, ensuring accuracy and integrity of datasets used for reporting and decision-making. I have developed dynamic dashboards and visual reports using Excel and Power BI to track performance indicators and communicate insights to stakeholders effectively. My experience also includes preparing research outputs, policy briefs, and analytical reports that translate complex data into clear, strategic recommendations. I am committed to leveraging my technical skills in data analytics, financial systems, and visualization tools to contribute meaningfully to organizational efficiency, performance improvement, and evidence-based planning.
