Data Analyst
Business data analyst with a strong financial background. USF graduate with a bachelors in accounting and a lifelong love of automation and data discovery. Goal oriented with a keen sense of project management. Strong problem solver with focused ambition.
Never in my life has anyone argued that my ambition to learn has been matched. My motivation stems from solving problems and creating results where others deem improbable. My mission in any organization is to understand how it functions, discovering the struggles in the existing process and develop actionable plans to improve efficiency and quality.
