About

Data-driven operations professional with experience analysing engagement, attendance, and operational datasets across international and higher-education environments. I have strong Excel skills and experience producing reports, identifying trends, and maintaining accurate datasets to support decision-making and compliance. My work has involved cleaning and validating data, tracking performance metrics, and translating reporting requirements into clear, usable insights for stakeholders. I am currently developing my skills in SQL and Power BI to transition into a junior data or operations analyst role, with a particular interest in remote, individual-contributor positions. I enjoy structured, analytical work and turning complex data into clear insights that help organisations operate more effectively.
