What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply data analysis, market research, and dashboard-building skills to turn complex data into actionable business and consumer insights.

I've supported Elevation Data Group, ES Advertising, and Boba Boba by cleaning and analyzing data, building Power BI dashboards, and developing marketing strategies that improved sales performance and engagement.

At Elevation Data Group, I structured 10,000+ dental-practice records, used SQL to reduce data inaccuracy by 15%, and built 30+ dashboards to inform pricing and marketing decisions. I also analyze public datasets in Python at National Student Data Corporation and develop consumer insights through consulting projects at Bruin Studio Strategies.
