(All of my content is my personal views and opinions) 

Thanks for checking out my page! I am a data professional with years of experience in data analysis, data visualization, machine learning, dashboarding, and other data requirements.

I am an engineer turned data expert with extensive experience providing insights through data. I discovered my passion for data while completing my B.S. in Chemical Engineering and I went on to receive my M.S. in Data Science & Analytics!

I am a strong critical thinker, with robust technical skills that are healthily balanced with intuition and an innate ability to communicate data. I live to see the lightbulb moment when I’m discussing topics with people!

How can we help each other?

Throughout my schooling and professional career, I have always enjoyed helping my peers and coworkers. With LinkedIn and Medium, I'm casting a wider net! Reach out, connect, follow, or just pass through. Whatever floats your boat and best of luck on your journey!

Practicum Student

Data Analyst @ Golden Hearts Games

👋 Hey! I'm Kelly Adams, a data analyst at Golden Hearts Games. I also freelance as a course producer for Luke Barousse's YouTube Channel and create courses focusing on data analytics skills.

I have over a year of experience in data analysis, working closely with the product, user acquisition and marketing departments. At my job, I use tools like SQL, Python, Google Looker and Excel to extract, analyze, and visualize data, providing insights that drive business decisions.

I transitioned careers from paralegal to data analyst in July 2023. After taking the Google Data Analytics Course in 2022, which I did on a whim, I decided that I wanted to be a data analyst. Being able to use technical skills to solve business problems drew me to the field. 

My posts are essentially like my professional journal. I document what it's like being an early career data analyst, how I'm applying business knowledge to analytics and the technical skills I'm learning.
