Pamela Shoko
@pamelashoko
Hospitality-to-data analyst translating operational data into actionable insights.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented hospitality professional with progressive experience in fast-paced service environments, and I’m now transitioning into data analysis. I’ve built my foundation by collecting, processing, and using operational data to support end-of-shift reporting, sales insights, and data-driven decision making.
In my recent roles, I’ve used POS systems to collect and record daily sales and transaction data, monitor product performance, and identify sales trends to support upselling and revenue growth. I also maintain organized records for inventory movement and service activity, helping improve operational data accuracy and consistency across reports.
I bring structured analytical thinking from both front-of-house and pre-opening environments, including reconciling transactions, investigating order discrepancies with root-cause thinking, and supporting data documentation like menu databases and allergen records. I’m especially comfortable turning everyday operational details into actionable insights that improve guest satisfaction and performance outcomes.
For my data pathway, I’m proficient in Google Sheets, Tableau, and Microsoft Excel, with hands-on exposure to data collection, data processing, and data-driven decision making through Google’s Foundations: Data, Data, Everywhere programme. I hold an AI Workplace Proficiency Certification and cybersecurity foundations training, and I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration at the University of the People.
