I’m an analytics and strategy leader who thrives in environments where curiosity, adaptability, and problem‑solving come together. My career has been shaped by taking on challenges that stretched me far beyond my comfort zone — learning new systems, building new teams, and creating clarity from complexity.
I didn’t begin my career in analytics. I built it. Piece by piece.
I taught myself how to navigate legacy data systems.
I learned strategic planning from scratch and eventually led a system‑wide analytics team.
I hired consultants and built a BI function — a responsibility I never expected but embraced fully.
I learned SQL, data warehousing concepts, and Tableau under pressure, transforming raw data into structured reporting.
I taught myself Power BI to support new reporting needs.
And I earned 16 certifications to deepen my understanding of today’s data landscape — including AI, which I’m deeply passionate about.
Across every organization, I’ve built reporting structures, defined KPIs, led analytic teams, and created dashboards that help leaders make better decisions. I’m at my best when I’m learning something new, solving a problem no one has solved yet, or building something that didn’t exist before.
I bring a unique blend of business leadership (MBA), creativity (Music), and human understanding (Psychology) — a combination that helps me build strong relationships, communicate clearly, and approach analytics with both structure and imagination.
I’m someone who puts in the work — every time — and I love roles where that effort creates meaningful impact.
