I am a collaborative team player with excellent interpersonal skills, able to deliver results under pressure while managing multiple tasks. I thrive in high-stress environments, working closely with cross-functional teams to define performance metrics and acceptance criteria. Additionally, I have experience creating Tableau reports for monthly and yearly statistics and assisting with the development of Crystal Reports.
