As a data analyst with a background in content development, I specialize in turning raw data into meaningful insights and narratives. Focused on humanizing numbers and finding what matters, I help organizations do their best work. My advanced degree in mental health allows me to interpret academic literature as well as data, creating rich narratives across industries. Having worked in marketing and communications as well, I’m able to draw key connections between research and organizational development. Recent data projects include:• Hospital staffing: Determined the most effective way to distribute staff across all 50 states for optimal patient care in the upcoming flu season. Leveraged Excel, VLOOKUP, and Tableau to identify insights and communicate conclusions.• Customer segmentation: Identified shared buying patterns in customer demographics for a leading e-commerce grocery retailer using Jupyter, pandas, numpy, matplotlib, Tableau, and Excel.• Market expansion: Analyzed movie rental patterns across world regions to help a global company prepare to shift to a streaming model. Conducted analysis using relational databases and SQL queries, then communicated conclusions using Tableau and PowerPoint.Looking for someone who humanizes numbers and makes data meaningful?
