About Me
Hello There! đ
Welcome to my portfolio! đ
I am a Risk & Compliance Analyst specializing in Finance & Banking, with a unique foundation in Law.
I donât just look at numbers; I look for the logic, the risks, and the stories they tell.
I thrive on turning complex, messy datasets into clear, actionable strategies.
Transitioning from Law to Finance has allowed me to merge analytical rigor and regulatory understanding
with technical tools like Microsoft Excel, SQL, and Power BI.
My legal background trained me to spot the "fine print" in dataâensuring that my insights are
not only deep but accurate and compliant.
What I Bring to the Table
- End-to-End Data Transformation: Cleaning and visualizing financial data using Power BI and Excel to drive ROI.
- SQL Querying: Extracting critical datasets from complex relational databases to identify market trends.
- Strategic Dashboards: Designing high-impact visualizations that simplify executive decision-making.
- Risk-Aware Analysis: Applying a legal mindset to financial data to identify patterns, anomalies, and opportunities.
I have sharpened these skills through high-stakes job simulations, including the Goldman Sachs Virtual Internship.
These experiences allowed me to apply my technical stackâPower BI, SQL, and Excelâto real-world banking scenarios,
focusing on everything from portfolio analysis to operational efficiency.
I am driven by the belief that data is only as good as the decisions it inspires.
My portfolio showcases projects born from curiosity and a commitment to professional excellence.
