What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values analytical skills and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a detail-oriented and results-driven Business Analyst with around 3 years of hands-on experience in driving business process improvements and analyzing data using SQL. My proven ability to bridge the gap between technical and non-technical stakeholders has been instrumental in delivering actionable insights to cross-functional teams. I thrive in dynamic environments and am adept at utilizing Agile methodologies, JIRA, and structured documentation to enhance project outcomes.

In my current role at Cardinal Health, I have successfully collaborated with operations, IT, and finance teams to gather and document business requirements for healthcare logistics and inventory optimization projects. My contributions have led to a 12% increase in operational efficiency and significant cost savings of approximately $200K annually. I am passionate about using data visualization tools like Power BI and Tableau to track key performance indicators and support strategic decision-making.

My educational background includes an MBA in Business Analytics from the Illinois Institute of Technology and a Bachelor of Commerce from PSGR Krishnammal College for Women. I am eager to leverage my analytical and communication skills to deliver business value in a high-impact role.
