Summary

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Data Science from the University of Sydney and I am currently completing a Master of Commerce in Business Analysis at UNSW. Alongside my studies, I work as a Marketing Analyst and Education Consultant, where I conduct data-driven market analysis, standardise reporting systems, and provide strategic insights for business expansion. With hands-on experience in Python, R, SQL and Power BI, I am eager to apply my analytical skills to a Business Analyst or Data Analyst role.
