About

Analytics that respects the operations underneath.

I'm a Business Intelligence and Data Analytics professional currently completing a Bachelor of Applied Science in Data Management & Analysis with a concentration in Business Intelligence at Bellevue College.

My career began in customer success and technical support at DreamBox Learning, where I worked closely with educators, administrators, and internal teams to solve customer challenges. Over time, I became increasingly interested in the data behind those challenges, leading me into reporting, analytics, operational intelligence, and business process improvement.

Today I combine real-world business experience with technical skills in SQL, Power BI, Tableau, Python, MongoDB, and data visualization. I enjoy transforming complex datasets into meaningful insights that help organizations improve customer experiences, optimize operations, and make better business decisions.

My work focuses on connecting data to outcomes. Whether I'm building dashboards, analyzing customer behavior, designing reporting frameworks, or investigating operational trends, my goal is always the same: deliver clear, actionable insights that drive informed decision-making.

  • Built reporting frameworks used to identify customer pain points and operational trends
  • Experienced translating technical findings into business-focused recommendations
  • Skilled in SQL, Power BI, Tableau, Python, MongoDB, and data storytelling
