I have an MBA degree with a concentration in International Business and Operations Management. I am currently working for Hertz Rental Car Corporation in the North America Division as a Fleet Portfolio Analyst. I am relocating to NY and I am looking for a position that I can contribute my skills and experience. My strong analytic skills and attention to detail are attributed to my academic background of science, math, and economics. I am a hardworking team player with a positive attitude and I possess communication skills that give me the ability to work effectively in a diverse environment. At Hertz, I report directly to the VP of fleet operations giving me a strong understanding of operating decisions and strategies as well as direct interaction with senior executives.
As a fleet analyst my main achievement includes developing, automating, and maintaining integrity of an annual business plan and a monthly forecast using SQL, Access, and Excel. This model compares KPIs such as historical fleet, revenue, and utilization statistics and is viewed by several executives to develop business decisions across revenue management, fleet operations, and finance. I am credible for efficiently producing ad-hoc analysis of fleet operations, identifying issues and providing a summary of findings for upper management and senior leaders.
My strengths and skills include ad-hoc data analysis, identifying issues with data quality and accuracy, forecasting and comparing historical data and trends in Tableau, presenting comparative data using Excel pivot tables/charts, complex data mining with SQL in Oracle, querying data using SQL code in Access, and developing automated dashboard reports for upper management. I offer expertise in reporting statistics of KPIs including year over year demand comparison, performance of on-rent vehicles, and utilization. I have strong technical skills that allow me to quickly adapt to new software programs. I am experienced in presenting in front of all group sizes. In addition, I speak fluent English and Arabic and currently learning to speak Portuguese and Spanish.
My previous healthcare experience has given me the opportunity to work with many different people on many levels. I have a strong foundation of professionalism, collegiality and perseverance which includes maintaining respect towards all individuals. I am a respected team-player with the ability to motivate my peers and take leadership when necessary. In positions of management, I have developed a quality of promoting patience and learning in a way that facilitates and inspires others to produce positive results. My strong communication skills allowed me to foster a strong rapport with administrators and faculty members, even more now as an alumna.
My entrepreneurial and leadership qualities are evident in my initiative to transform the culture of the MBA Student Association, of which I served two consecutive years as a student leader. I helped inspire my peers to develop and implement new ideas that would encourage student involvement and facilitate networking opportunities. We worked to create a new brand for the student group and provide meaningful events and activities, adding value to their MBA experience at Rutgers School of Business.
In my academic and professional experiences, I have consistently demonstrated strong competency in improving processes, problem-solving, creativity, and critical thinking. I am confident, in myself and my abilities that I will exceed the expectations and requirements of my role. I am an enthusiastic, self-developing individual looking for a challenging and rewarding future.
