What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning.

I am an analytical and detail-driven Data Analyst with a strong proficiency in SQL, Python, and Tableau. My passion lies in extracting insights that drive business intelligence and innovation. Currently pursuing a part-time MSc in Data Science & AI at the University of Liverpool, I aim to leverage my expertise to solve real-world challenges and optimize decision-making.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led projects that enhance data accuracy and reporting efficiency. For instance, as a Data and Compliance Administrator at British Transport Police, I transformed complex datasets into strategic reports that directly influenced departmental decision-making. My experience also includes automating reporting processes and collaborating with cross-functional teams to streamline operations and improve data integrity.

With a solid foundation in data analysis and visualization, I have developed predictive models and created compelling dashboards that tell impactful stories. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am committed to delivering high-quality work while continuously learning and adapting to new technologies.
