What I'm looking for

I'm looking to develop my career in data analysis, applying quantitative and statistical analysis, data cleaning and visualisation to generate clear, evidence-based insights.

I've used Excel, R, Power Query and Power BI to clean, analyse and visualise data for sea turtle conservation research in Kefalonia.

As Sea Turtle Conservation Team Leader at The Katelios Group, I reviewed a large dataset for duplicates, errors and missing data, then identified patterns to inform protection and land-use decisions.

For my First Class Biological Sciences dissertation at the University of East Anglia, I investigated loggerhead sea turtle population recovery. My analysis found that the local population was growing and becoming younger on average, supporting evidence that conservation work had been effective.

I'm keen to build my career in data analysis, bringing careful data management, statistical reasoning and clear communication to meaningful work.
