About
Analytics with clear decision support
I currently work at National Louis University, where I help turn messy, loosely defined questions into usable metrics, analyses, and dashboards. I care about correctness, reproducibility, and making technical work readable for non-technical audiences.
Current work
Oracle, Power BI, and institutional data
My recent work focuses on graduation, persistence, and career outcomes reporting. That includes building and maintaining Oracle-based data models, shaping reporting layers, and creating dashboards that leadership teams can actually use for planning and resource decisions.
Background
Teaching, accounting, and applied analytics
Before moving fully into analytics, I taught math, computer science, and hospitality accounting. That background still shapes how I work: I like practical metrics, strong definitions, and explanations that hold up under scrutiny. It also means I am comfortable moving between technical detail, business context, and instruction.
