What I'm looking for

I am seeking a collaborative environment where I can apply my data analysis skills and contribute to impactful projects while continuing to grow professionally.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented data analyst currently pursuing my Bachelor's degree in Data Science at Brigham Young University. With a minor in Statistics, I have developed a strong foundation in data analysis and statistical methods. My experience includes working with various data tools and programming languages, such as Python, R, and SQL, to extract insights from complex datasets.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led projects that involved data collection, processing, and analysis for organizations like the Marcus Harris Foundation and Brigham Young University. I take pride in my ability to deliver actionable insights through data visualization and reporting, which have significantly influenced decision-making processes. I am passionate about leveraging data to drive strategic initiatives and improve operational efficiency.
