What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, with opportunities for growth and impactful project work.

I am a creative and innovative team player with extensive project experience, skilled in taking concepts from inception to execution. My proficiency in research allows me to identify project needs and problem areas within data streams effectively. I excel in analytical thinking, particularly in data analysis, and I am adept at generating summary reports for compliance reporting.

Currently, I serve as a Merchandise Planner at Edgars Stores Pvt Ltd, where I successfully implemented product and customer analytics that improved sales by 65%. I have developed automated performance reports for inventory management and sales optimization using tools like VBA, Stata, and PowerBI. My previous experience as a Research Assistant and Freight Intern has further honed my skills in data collection, analysis, and project management.
