What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and offers growth opportunities in data analytics.

I am a dedicated data analyst with a strong background in people analytics and reporting, holding a Master of Science in Business Analytics from Santa Clara University. My experience at Seagate Technology as an Analyst II allowed me to develop actionable reports and insights that informed key stakeholders, utilizing advanced data analysis techniques with R and Python. I have a proven track record of creating self-service dashboards and automating workflows, which significantly improved productivity.

In my recent role at Step Ahead Solution, I strategically managed federal project opportunities, conducting market analysis and fostering relationships with partners to meet client needs. My leadership experience as Chapter President of Young Catholic Professionals in Silicon Valley has honed my skills in team management and event planning, successfully increasing engagement through targeted marketing initiatives. I am passionate about leveraging data to drive decision-making and enhance organizational effectiveness.
