My Story

Four years ago, I concluded that most firms suffer from a lack of clarity rather than a lack of information. After that realization, I became obsessed with making insights understandable and useful as a data analyst.

Throughout six industries and more than twenty projects, my expertise has helped teams identify attrition risks before they become crises, reveal revenue gaps before they become losses, and make decisions based on facts rather than speculation. If your data isn't already directing decisions, I can help.

Beyond the data, I collaborate directly with stakeholders — ranging from C-suite executives to department heads — to convert analytical results into actionable decisions. I feel at ease sharing insights in boardroom situations and working with cross-functional teams to match business objectives with data strategy.

How I Work

Every engagement follows the same four-step process — built from 20+ projects across 6 industries.

Step 01

Discovery

I start with the business question — not the data. What decision needs to be made? What's currently unknown? This frames everything that follows.

Step 02

Data Modelling

I clean, transform, and model the data — using Power Query, SQL, or Python — building a reliable foundation before any analysis begins.

Step 03

Insight Delivery

I surface the "so what" — not just what the data shows, but what it means and what should change. Every insight is tied back to a business outcome.

Step 04

Stakeholder Presentation

I translate findings into plain language for non-technical audiences — from department heads to C-suite — so decisions get made, not deferred.
