Currently, I work at Currencies Direct, where I develop insightful dashboards and collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive data-driven decision-making. My proactive approach has led to significant cost savings and improved performance metrics.

Throughout my career, I have consistently sought ways to streamline reporting processes and build strong partnerships with stakeholders. My previous roles at Currencycloud and LexisNexis have equipped me with a solid foundation in data governance and analytical problem-solving. I take pride in mentoring new analysts and leading training sessions, fostering a culture of continuous improvement within my teams.
