Hello! I am a Data Analyst skilled in SQL, Tableau, Python, and Microsoft Excel. I have experience in Data Visualization and Presentation techniques to effectively communicate recommendations and insights to various stakeholders. I have a background in science education and am passionate about finding answers to questions by digging into data.Technical Skills:Languages: Python (Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-Learn)Data Visualization: MatplotLib, Seaborn, Power BI, Tableau (Interactive filters, Parameters, Calculated fields)Databases: SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Conditional filters, Joins, Subqueries, CTEs, Window functions)Analytics: Advanced Microsoft Excel (Pivot Tables, VLookups, INDEX MATCH, Charts) Data Science Methods: Mining, Wrangling, Cleaning, Analysis, StorytellingI have always had a lot of curiosity, and this trait has driven my career and education trajectory. Prior to focusing on data analytics, my curiosity manifested itself in the field of science education. I taught science to elementary school students in a public school district for 17 years. Teaching developed my communication skills and deepened my understanding of science practices; both of which are assets in my role as a data analyst. My major in college was biology, and through various research projects, I discovered the thrill of finding answers in data. From data I collected and analyzed, I concluded in one project that baby praying mantises are less cannibalistic when they have pollen to eat and in another project that saltmarsh turtles in New Jersey return to their nesting sites year after year. My curiosity extends to my favorite hobby: spending time in nature. I love exploring new terrain, finding new plants and animals, and seeing what’s around the next bend.Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to connect!
