I am highly skilled in leveraging data and automation tools, including Excel (pivot tables, macros), Alteryx, and Power BI, to analyze large datasets, streamline workflows, and enhance compliance reporting.I’m passionate about combining technical expertise with an advisory mindset to identify risk, uncover opportunities for duty savings, and deliver practical, actionable insights.
