About Catherine Lea

I am a data analyst with experience using MS Excel, Tableau, Power BI, SQL, and Python to gain actionable insights from a wide variety of data sources. I excel in delivering the full range of the project life cycle, including gathering requirements and business objectives, exploratory data analysis, model building, and presenting insights. A mind for math and analytics, but they didn\'t send me to all those state- and nationwide speech competitions for nothing. I\'ve been working behind a computer since the ripe age of 8, when my dad gave me a book on HTML and set me on the course to creating my own pet web pages on neopets.com (there is apparently a limit to how much you can ask of your web developer dad). I\'ve always approached technology and gaining knowledge with a determination that can\'t be matched. Family members, teachers, and work supervisors have at least always agreed on two things: I\'m a problem-solver, a critical thinker, and I have the work ethic to do something about that.Blending my passion for technology and my mind for problem solving has always been a goal of mine. 2020 was the year I decided to take the plunge and start pursuing it as a career, diving headfirst into conquering Excel, SQL, and other technologies to assist in creating tables, charts, and presentations I could be proud of sharing. With tech, I know I will be a forever-student, always wanting to expand my knowledge base. Connect with me if you want to talk tech, share stories, or if you\'re interested in building partnerships to help enlighten the world.Specialties: telling stories with data, exploratory data analysis, problem-solving
