Data Analyst Specializing in Performance Metrics & Strategic Reporting
With 5+ years of experience analyzing KPIs, synthesizing research, and building reporting systems across education and federally funded initiatives, I transform complex datasets into clear, actionable insight.
Certified in Data Analytics, Nashville Software School
Bridging Data, Strategy, and Measurable Impact
I am a data analyst with over five years of experience driving performance improvement through data-informed decision-making. My background spans classroom-level performance analytics and national education initiatives, where I analyzed KPIs, built reporting systems, and translated complex findings into actionable strategies for diverse stakeholders.
In both instructional and project coordination roles, I led data tracking efforts, synthesized research into executive-ready deliverables, and supported cross-functional teams across 10 federally funded projects. My work has consistently focused on improving outcomes, aligning strategy to measurable metrics, and ensuring accountability through structured reporting.
Today, I apply Python, SQL, Excel, Power BI, and Tableau to build dashboards, conduct exploratory data analysis, and generate insights that inform strategic planning. While I am particularly passionate about education analytics, I am equally driven to support organizations seeking data clarity, operational efficiency, and measurable impact.
