About

Business analyst with 6+ years delivering data-driven and AI-enabled solutions for enterprise clients across healthcare, financial services, legal tech, and consulting. I specialize in translating complex business problems into working analytics, managing Agile delivery end to end, and enabling stakeholder adoption — with a track record of measurable outcomes including a 2.1 → 4.6 app store rating turnaround, $5MM+ in client savings, and $1MM in project revenue. I've worked across the full BA stack — requirements gathering, user story definition, JIRA backlog management, ETL pipelines, SQL and Python, Tableau and Power BI, Snowflake, and AI-enabled analytics — at companies including Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, Deloitte Consulting, Epiq, and Comarch. Currently seeking a Senior Business Analyst or data-focused role in Chicago where I can deepen my analytical skill set and build toward a senior leadership track. Open to healthcare, financial services, fintech, and AI-adjacent opportunities.
