Sarra Jones
@sarrajones
Applied Mathematics graduate applying Python, SQL, and statistical modeling to deliver actionable data insights.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Applied Mathematics graduate (Dec 2025) with hands-on experience in data analysis, statistical modeling, optimization, and technical operations. I’m an advanced user of Python, MATLAB, SQL, and Excel for data cleaning, simulation, and visualization.
In my current and recent work, I’ve translated operational data into process improvements across 100+ live events annually. I use performance and equipment data to improve setup efficiency, and I diagnose and resolve real-time technical issues to minimize downtime in high-visibility environments.
My academic projects strengthened my modeling and implementation skills—building linear programming models to allocate resources across time periods and simulating competing populations with differential equations and numerical methods in Python/MATLAB. I also develop structured algorithm and software projects (e.g., Blackjack, Battleship), sharpening logic, debugging, and problem-solving.
I’m seeking an entry-level Data Analyst or Business Analyst role where I can turn data into clear findings, support data-informed decisions, and keep improving processes—using my technical toolkit and my practical experience delivering reliable outcomes under real constraints.
