About me
Turning Data into Stories | Ex-Uber | Ex-Intuit | Ex-Upwork | MS Information Systems (San Diego State University) | Helping Data Professionals Navigate Careers, Interviews & Workplace Communication
I'm a Data & Analytics professional with 7+ years of industry experience and a Master's degree in Information Systems from San Diego State University.
Over the course of my career, I've worked across analytics, reporting, business strategy, stakeholder management, and decision support at companies including Uber, Intuit, and Upwork. I've also navigated my own journey through higher education, the US job market, corporate environments, promotions, career transitions, and leadership interactions.
One thing I've learned along the way is that the hardest part of building a successful career in data isn't always SQL, Python, Tableau, or dashboards.
It's figuring out how to navigate interviews, communicate effectively with stakeholders, build credibility, handle workplace challenges, make smart career decisions, and position yourself for the right opportunities.
Many talented professionals struggle not because they lack technical skills, but because nobody teaches them the practical aspects of building and navigating a successful career.
I enjoy helping aspiring and experienced data professionals accelerate their growth through practical, experience-driven guidance that goes beyond technical skills.
### I can help you:
• Build a clear roadmap for a successful career in Data Analytics
• Strengthen your resume and LinkedIn profile to stand out to recruiters and hiring managers
• Confidently prepare for analytics interviews, including SQL, case studies, behavioral rounds, and business problem-solving
• Navigate the US education and job market with practical insights from firsthand experience
• Communicate effectively with managers and stakeholders, especially in challenging workplace situations
• Build visibility, credibility, and influence within your organization
• Navigate career transitions, promotions, and growth opportunities with confidence
• Understand the unwritten rules of corporate life that aren't taught in courses or bootcamps
My goal is to help professionals not just become better analysts, but build successful, sustainable, and fulfilling careers in the data world.
Whether you're trying to land your first analytics role, break into the US job market, prepare for a critical interview, navigate workplace challenges, or think through your next career move, I'm happy to share practical advice and lessons learned from my own journey.
