As a Retail Banking Data Analyst, I leverage my expertise in analyzing data to drive actionable insights and support data-driven decision-making. With a background in customer support and a passion for community engagement through financial literacy initiatives, I bring a unique perspective to my role. My experience in monitoring fraud losses, tailoring reports to meet evolving business needs, and forecasting future outcomes enables me to provide clarity and drive improvements in operational efficiency. As a principal consultant for The LEAD Firm, I have honed my skills in crafting visually engaging presentations and dashboards to communicate complex information effectively. Currently pursuing my Ph.D. in Urban Higher Education at Jackson State University, I am dedicated to leveraging data to empower teams and positively impact business outcomes while advancing my education and community development expertise.
