Every company has data that needs to be recorded, analyzed, and presented in an easily digestible format. However, data in and of itself is just facts and figures.

As an Entry Level Data Analyst, I am studying and aiming to provide companies and organizations with decision making insights to predict trends and behaviors. In the Thinkful Data Analytics program I am learning to analyze, interpret and present data in useful ways to increase productivity and drive effective decision-making.

With my entry level experience using Excel, SQL, Tableau and Python, I extract useful insights from a wide variety of data sources. From gathering requirements and objectives, exploratory data analysis, to model building and presenting those insights. I am learning to excel at the full range of the data analytics project life cycle.
