What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead complex projects and turn data into decisions—using SQL, Power BI, and strong stakeholder communication—within a collaborative global team, with opportunities to improve processes and deliver measurable impact.

I’m a PMP-certified Project Manager and Data Analyst with 5+ years of experience leading cross-functional projects and delivering data-driven insights. I combine project execution with analytics to streamline processes, manage risks, and keep stakeholders aligned across global and Japanese teams.

In my most recent PM role at Civiconnect, I managed multiple projects using Asana and SharePoint and achieved 96% on-time milestone delivery, while reporting status to senior leadership and the CEO. As a Data Analyst at Caddle, I built Excel dashboards and automated Power BI iterations, saving 36% build time, and used SQL and SPSS for regression and trend analysis—also leading initiatives that integrated AI tools while managing scope, budget, and schedule.
