I have also provided consultation and strategic direction in risk modeling and data analysis for several companies, including major banks and credit unions, helping improve the efficiency and results of their financial products.My forte lies in banking, credit risk, and comprehensive risk management, complemented by a keen analytical acumen, adept communication, machine learning modeling, and leadership qualities. I am also constantly improving my abilities to accomplish strategic business objectives, whether that be through learning new coding languages or staying up to date on the latest trends in data science and analytics. Fueled by a mission to democratize access to capital for the underserved and underbanked communities, I stand committed to principles of collaboration, innovation, and diversity.Areas of Expertise:✭ Risk Management & Assessment ✭ Data Analysis & Research ✭ Organizational Excellence✭ Identifying Needs & Overcoming Obstacles✭ Building Strong Relationships✭ Business Development & Optimization ✭ Motivational Leadership
