What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can maintain payroll accuracy, build interactive analytics, streamline ETL/data pipelines, and collaborate with stakeholders to inform strategic decisions.

I am a data and payroll analyst with hands-on experience building interactive dashboards, automating reporting, and ensuring payroll integrity for large workforces. At Ascend, I transformed static reports into dynamic Power BI dashboards, executed weekly pay cycles for 700+ employees, and ran audit cycles in Ceridian Dayforce to achieve 100% data accuracy for financial reporting.

I combine SQL, Python, and cloud tools with strong risk-management and data-engineering practices to deliver actionable insights and reliable systems. I’ve developed ETL pipelines, produced 80+ ad-hoc reports per quarter, and built machine-learning models for credit underwriting and health prediction with strong accuracy results.
