What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an opportunity where I can use Python, SQL, Tableau, and Excel to build dashboards, improve data quality, and turn analysis into decisions that move the business forward.

I’m a data analyst transitioning from education. After years using data analysis tools to analysis student data and inform teaching methods, I decided to start formally learning about data analytics and pursued that through Google’s online Data Analytics course. My previous wealth of experience and newly acquired skills provide me with ample ability to tackle the world of data analysis.
