About

I have recently completed an accelerated Google Data Analytics certification, where I developed proficiency in spreadsheet management, SQL, data analysis, and visualization. My previous role as a chemical lab technician further strengthened my ability to gather, interpret, and report analytical data. This diverse background equips me with strong analytical and problem-solving skills, which I am excited to apply in the field of data analysis. My portfolio showcases my ability to transform data into actionable insights, supported by hands-on projects and real-world applications.
