Google-certified data analyst blending analytics with creative music leadership
What I'm looking for
I am a Google-certified data analyst who combines analytical rigor with three decades of creative leadership in music and education.
In my 2024 capstone, I analyzed 113,000+ Spotify tracks, cleaned and structured large datasets with SQL and Google Sheets, and built visualizations in Tableau to surface genre trends and listener engagement patterns.
Across roles as a music program director, band leader, and composer, I led teams, managed scheduling and budgets, and used audience feedback data to increase engagement by 30%, developing strong storytelling and stakeholder communication skills.
I bring problem-solving, data-driven storytelling, and collaborative leadership to analytics roles and seek to translate complex data into actionable insights that drive decisions and creative strategy.
