Description

I help teams improve reporting, structure operational processes and turn messy data into clear dashboards, trackers and action points.

My background is in business operations, marketplace governance, supply chain operations and performance reporting. I have worked with Excel automation, Power BI, Tableau, SAP, Power Automate, customer/partner tracking and monthly stakeholder reporting.

I enjoy projects where there is a manual process, an unclear way of working, or scattered data that needs to become more useful. I can support with Excel trackers, reporting automation, KPI dashboards, marketplace/account tracking, process documentation and monthly business review decks.

I work in a calm and structured way, with attention to detail and a strong focus on making things easier for the team using them.
