Law-trained data analyst transitioning with strong Excel and Power BI skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a law graduate transitioning into data analytics, combining strong analytical thinking from legal practice with growing technical expertise in Excel, Power Query, SQL, Power BI, Tableau, Azure and Python.
My professional experience includes roles supporting legal teams where I gathered and compiled data, created spreadsheets and documents for courts and stakeholders, and managed case information—developing attention to detail, report writing and stakeholder communication.
I am currently upskilling through a Digital Skills Bootcamp and an NCFE Level 4 Data Analyst diploma, building portfolio projects and seeking opportunities to apply my data-cleaning, visualization and analysis skills in a dynamic, data-driven environment.
