What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a Business Analyst role where I can apply statistical analysis, advanced Excel, and risk-minded thinking to optimize operations, improve reporting, and turn complex logistics into clear, data-driven decisions.

I’m a highly analytical, detail-oriented professional with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and a strong quantitative foundation in statistical analysis, predictive analytics, supply chain optimization, and business process modeling (As-Is/To-Be).

From 2021–present as a Motor Transport Operator, I’ve delivered data-driven operations management and logistics analysis—analyzing transport schedules and fuel consumption for a fleet of 50+ vehicles to improve operational throughput by 15%. I also build operational readiness reports in Microsoft Excel, identify supply chain bottlenecks to reduce administrative errors by 20%, and coordinate multi-phase movements with zero downtime while leading 10+ personnel.

I bring risk-focused discipline from Protective Security Officer experience, including continuous threat analysis and system monitoring, alongside practical business leadership from store management—analyzing sales trends and shrinkage to reduce loss, managing budgets to maintain 100% accounting accuracy, and optimizing inventory to reduce overstock by 10% while training 8+ employees. I’m looking to leverage these strengths to excel as a Business Analyst who turns complex operations into clear, measurable decisions.
