My Journey
My career began in customer service, working for vibrant companies centered on arts and crafts and wellbeing.

Training & Learning
I am mostly self-taught, diving into the world of data analysis through hands-on YouTube tutorials from channels like Alex the Analyst. I quickly learned to not just follow but experiment—repurposing exercises to gain a deeper understanding of what happens “under the hood.” This curiosity has been instrumental in shaping my analytical skills.
