Objective
Dedicated professional seeking finance and data/business analysis opportunities after an 11-year career as an educator. Throughout my career as an educator, my instruction was very dependent upon student performance data analysis, which required me to learn and apply skills for accumulating and analyzing data, mostly via Microsoft Excel.
My 11 years as an educator also afforded me some valuable skill development that I think will translate well to a corporate setting, such as: being a self-starter, problem-solving skills, time management, data analysis, strategic planning, collaboration, conflict resolution, verbal and written communication, and relationship-building.
