Profile

About

I've built my career getting hands-on with data — cleaning it, structuring it, automating it, and turning it into dashboards and reporting systems that actually get used.

I work extensively with SQL, Tableau, and scalable reporting workflows that improve data reliability, streamline operations, and support decision-making across the organization. I lead with integrity and continuously look for opportunities to improve efficiency through innovation and analytics.
