What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my data analysis skills while supporting individuals in need, fostering a positive and inclusive work environment.

I am an experienced professional with a strong background in data analysis, counseling, and administrative support. My expertise lies in gathering and processing data to ensure accuracy and confidentiality, while also providing support to youth and families in crisis situations. I have a proven track record of maintaining a calm and safe environment, utilizing therapeutic techniques to help individuals develop essential life skills.

In my current role as a Data Analyst at Wood’s Homes, I meticulously clean and audit large datasets, ensuring data integrity and alignment with organizational goals. I also conduct training sessions for staff, empowering them to effectively use our database systems. My previous experience as a Youth & Family Counsellor has equipped me with the skills to handle sensitive situations with professionalism and compassion, making me a valuable asset to any team.
