DATA ANALYST
I'm currently a full time data analyst. I have skills in Excel, SQL, and Tableau. You can view my personal portfolio here or download my resume below.
ABOUT ME
I transitioned careers from a paralegal to a data analyst in July of 2023. I have experience with analyzing and cleaning data using SQL, along with creating data visualizations in Tableau and Google Looker. I'm currently a full time data analyst for Golden Hearts Games. I also work part-time in Content Marketing for Subset.
I write twice a month on my blog about data analytics, learning, and switching careers. I volunteer in the education department with the Turtle Bay Exploration Park. Outside of my professional life you can find me building LEGOs, weight lifting or spending quality time with my dog, Luna.
If you have any questions for me like "how do I become a data analyst" or "do you have any advice for me?" please check out my Frequently Asked Questions post to see if I answered it.
