What I'm looking for

I am seeking analytical roles that emphasize data-driven auditing, compliance, and operational reporting within collaborative teams that value accuracy and continuous improvement.

I am a detail-oriented data professional with a strong background in data analysis, auditing, and compliance reporting across utilities, retail, and operations roles.

I consistently use Excel, SQL, Tableau, Cognos, and Google Suite to clean, analyze, and produce timely reports that inform investigations and operational decisions.

My experience includes managing digital records, conducting inventory audits, and leading investigations that recovered significant assets while ensuring regulatory and safety compliance.

I hold certifications in data analytics, data visualization, Google AI Essentials, and foundational cybersecurity, and I prioritize accuracy, efficiency, and clear communication in cross-functional and customer-facing environments.
