I have excellent skills in coding, particularity in SQL and Python, as demonstrated by my professional and educational experience. With this strong technical foundation, I want to grow my knowledge in analytical and financial storytelling in order to best utilize my greatest strength: communication. I want to be the bridge between data and people, to become great at making complex ideas digestible, and to one day lead my own team so I can foster these skills in others.
