I had the opportunity to lead research projects in workplace and higher education finance and guarantee their successful progression. I oversaw research activities and created crucial foundational documents approved by the Ministry of National Education to implement a doctoral program in Economics and Finance. I have had the opportunity to enhance the Business Intelligence department by generating data, evaluating project results, and presenting regular updates to the university's board of directors.

​I've thoroughly enjoyed my role in providing tailored guidance to small businesses involved in the Business Strengthening program. This has involved developing Canvas business models, offering strategic support in creating Balanced Scorecards and KPIs, and crafting dashboards and KPIs in Power BI to enhance inventory control, financial oversight, and customer relationship management for small businesses. Additionally, I've designed Excel-based models to effectively manage financial control in microenterprises, and it's been incredibly rewarding to be recognized for my skill in effectively communicating with diverse social cohorts, from entrepreneurs without formal education to corporate CEOs and directors.

In my experience, I have led self-assessment programs to renew business program credentials by conducting surveys, analyzing statistics, and creating detailed reports. My leadership in an educational program for over 500 business students improved the institute's performance on national evaluations. I was actively involved in developing internship programs, not just coordinating but also building academic and professional networks to help interns succeed in their future careers. I designed guidebooks and learning materials for virtual degree programs in Econometrics and Finance Mathematics, enhancing the educational curriculum. Teaching courses in Strategic Management, Business Intelligence, and Decision Analysis has been fulfilling, as it has helped develop the managerial and analytical skills of my students.

I contributed to the establishment and upkeep of reporting systems using tools such as Power BI, Excel, SQL, R, and Python. This facilitated clients' ability to monitor their performance and make informed decisions, particularly beneficial for those less familiar with data analysis. ​Moreover, I conveyed research findings and recommendations to the management, influencing the company's strategic direction and bolstering its outcomes. Additionally, I engaged in extensive data analysis to produce valuable reports and ensured the integrity of the utilized data. Ultimately, my aim was to foster client satisfaction and instill confidence in the insights we delivered.
