What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow in a data-driven role where I can use SQL, Excel, and Power BI to support research and informed decisions, while applying my strong communication, organization, and training experience to help teams deliver impact.

I’m a student professional with hands-on experience supporting university communities through research, administration, and program coordination. I bring a detail-oriented approach to maintaining records, facilitating communication, and helping teams run smoothly.

In roles like Student Library Assistant and Vice President & Administrator (Enactus UFS), I helped maintain order, manage schedules, and oversee accurate documentation such as minutes, records, and registers. I also trained and developed organization secretaries and ensured policies supported discipline and accountability.

As a Researcher in The Unit for Institutional Change and Social Justice, I participated in institutional history research and facilitated dialogue on institutional change. Currently building my ICT capability through the Data Analytics Stream, I’m excited to apply SQL, Excel, and Power BI to turn data into better, faster decisions.
