I am a Strategic Lead Data Analyst with over six years of experience in problem-solving, advanced analytics, and data storytelling. My expertise lies in bridging business strategies with technical analysis, utilizing tools such as Snowflake, Python, SQL, and Power BI to drive impactful data-driven decisions.

Throughout my career, I have successfully developed data systems and workflows from scratch, significantly improving data integrity and efficiency. At Earthbanc, I led the establishment of a data team and automated reporting processes, enhancing productivity by nearly 50%. My tenure at Deloitte involved creating data models that saved clients millions and developing governance policies that were fully adopted by top executives.
