I help small businesses and startups use data to make smarter marketing decisions and grow faster. I hold an Associate of Business from College of Southern Nevada (CSN), where I built a strong foundation in business fundamentals, data analysis, and customer-focused decision-making. I also have experience working with nonprofits, performing research and data analysis to support their operations and strategic decisions. My background combines hands-on work in data-related tasks with a clear focus on how insights can directly support marketing goals like improving targeting, messaging, and campaign performance. What I bring to your marketing projects: - Market and customer research to understand who your buyers are and what they care about - Competitor research to see how you compare and where you can stand out - Clear, organized reports in Excel and Google Sheets that turn data into simple, actionable takeaways - Support for marketing planning, including basic segmentation, positioning, and performance tracking I’m especially interested in working with businesses that want to use data to improve their marketing strategy but don’t have the time or tools to do it in-house. If you’re looking for practical, no-fluff insights that connect directly to your goals, send me a message and let’s talk about your project.

Data Analyst | SQL, Excel, Python, Power BI; Dashboards, Reporting & Data-Driven Insights I help businesses turn large, complex datasets into clear, accurate insights that inform real decisions. As a Data Analyst with years of experience across SQL, Excel, Python, Power BI, and Google Sheets, I focus on data quality from the ground up which includes cleaning, validating, and analyzing data before it ever reaches a dashboard or report, ensuring that the numbers you act on are ones you can trust. My work centers on the full analytical cycle, including writing SQL queries to investigate complex questions, identifying trends and patterns across large datasets, building dashboards that teams actually use, and delivering reports and KPIs that turn raw data into actionable insights. I own my analysis from end to end, understanding a business need, flagging data quality issues before they cause bad decisions, and presenting findings in a way that's clear to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. I can work independently and remotely, manage priorities without close supervision, and communicate proactively when things don’t add up as opposed to letting it quietly become a broken report. Strong attention to detail and a healthy skepticism toward my own numbers are part of how I work, I'd rather flag an unreliable metric early than deliver a confident report built on a shaky pipeline. Alongside core analyst work, I also bring experience in AI data annotation, labelling, and quality assurance which are useful on projects where structured, high accuracy data collection feeds directly into analysis or model training. I can also do technical writing for documentation, research summaries, and reports. What I can help you with: • Data Analysis & Reporting • Data Cleaning & Validation • Excel & Google Sheets • SQL Data Analysis • Python Data Analysis & Processing • Power BI Dashboards & Data Visualization • Data Quality & Quality Assurance • AI Data Annotation & Data Labeling • AI / Machine Learning Training Data • Text & Image Annotation • Prompt Evaluation & AI Evaluation • Data Research & Internet Research • Data Collection & Verification • Research Analysis • Technical Writing & Documentation • Report Writing & Editing • SQL queries and complex data analysis across large, relational datasets • Identifying trends, patterns, and outliers in large datasets I am detail-oriented, analytical, reliable, quality focused, and committed to accuracy and consistency. If you need someone who can be trusted with your data and your deadlines, let's talk about your project.
