Business & Data Analyst
Three-plus years building the analytics behind better decisions — across financial reporting, budgeting, fraud detection, and pricing. I work day to day in SQL, Python, and Excel, and build dashboards in Tableau and Power BI.
I'm a business and data analyst who's spent the last few years pulling operational and financial data into reports and KPIs that managers can act on. My work has covered a lot of ground — financial-aid reporting and project budgets on one side, fraud and pricing analysis on the other — so picking up a new domain quickly is something I'm used to.
I care about the part that's easy to skip: making the numbers trustworthy, then explaining them in plain language to people who don't live in spreadsheets. Whether it's automating a recurring report in SQL or walking executives through a dashboard, the goal is the same — give people something they can decide with.
