Data-Driven Insight, Systems & Decision-Making
Transforming complex data into scalable systems, actionable insight, and measurable impact
I recently led the design and implementation of a centralised data infrastructure, replacing fragmented Excel-based workflows across multiple campuses with a streamlined, automated system. Using Microsoft Lists, Power Automate, and Teams integration, I built end-to-end data pipelines that standardised data collection, improved accessibility, and enabled real-time visibility across teams in one place.
This transformation eliminated manual, downloadable forms and reduced administrative processing time by ~50%, allowing teams to shift focus towards higher-value analytical and strategic work. By structuring previously inconsistent datasets, I enabled cross-campus comparison and trend analysis, and supported the development of Power BI outputs to identify patterns in engagement, feedback, and representation data.
More broadly, I specialise in translating complex, often unstructured data into clear, actionable insight that informs decision-making. I have synthesised 1,000+ data points into structured outputs used by multiple stakeholders, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches to uncover trends, diagnose issues, and support operational improvement.
My work sits at the intersection of analysis, delivery, and systems thinking, not only generating insight, but ensuring it is embedded into scalable processes that improve efficiency, consistency, and organisational visibility.
I hold a First Class degree in Sociology with Technologies and Economic Markets from the University of Warwick, where I developed strong foundations in mixed-methods research. My dissertation (78%) applied both qualitative and quantitative analysis to examine digital political behaviour across Europe.
Alongside my professional work, I also serve as a Community Governor within Coventry University Multi-Academy Trust, contributing to educational governance through strategic oversight, constructive challenge, stakeholder engagement, and support for learner outcomes and safeguarding.
I am particularly interested in roles where data, structured thinking, and analytical insight are used to improve performance, inform strategy, and drive real-world impact.
