What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in a data-driven organization that values innovation and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a detail-oriented and passionate Data Analyst with a strong background in public health, statistical research, and data management. My expertise lies in data cleaning, analysis, visualization, and reporting using tools such as SPSS, Excel, Tableau, and SQL. I have successfully managed end-to-end research projects, supporting evidence-based policy and transforming raw data into actionable insights.

Currently, I work as a Freelance Data Analyst, where I analyze quantitative survey data for graduate research projects and guide clients in interpreting statistical outputs. My previous role as a State Technical Facilitator for Immunization involved real-time data monitoring and collaboration with various stakeholders to ensure vaccine accountability. I am eager to apply and expand my skills in a dynamic, data-driven organization.
