Data Analyst

Welcome! I'm excited to share my journey with you. I'm continually learning and growing, so check back occasionally for new additions to my portfolio.

About Me

Thanks for taking a few moments to learn a little more about me. My interest in data analytics started when I realized how much data exists in the world today, and recognized there was a need to make sense of it all. I enjoy discovering trends in the data, and when I combine that with my natural technical abilities, it's helping me grow in this field. The best part is knowing that my insights can directly impact business success.My extensive background in banking, finance, and operations has taught me to think critically about business challenges using both analytical thinking and practical understanding. I am a constant learner, so whether I'm mastering new data analysis techniques or focusing on personal growth, my belief in putting my best foot forward is reflected in everything I do. I also enjoy encouraging others and finding small ways to make everyday life a little better. I hope to connect with you soon!

Power BI Dashboard - Bank Churn Analysis

In this two-part project, I've combined technical and strategic business analysis. Using bank customer data, I created an interactive Power BI dashboard to uncover churn patterns, then developed a business case with targeted customer retention strategies.

Business Case

I decided to go beyond visualization and developed a business case to bridge the gap between data insights and business action. This document outlines a targeted business goal designed to reduce customer churn by 10% within six months.
