Data Analyst

Turning complex data into actionable insights that drive strategic decision-making.

“I was tasked with making sure that all our licenses were up to date when we had our inspections. I reached out to the Mayor’s Business Action Team who helped me so much in contacting multiple City departments, such as the Department of Licenses and Inspections and the Philadelphia Police Department to ensure all is up to date with my business. The team at the Department of Commerce followed up with me weekly to monitor the process and check if I had questions.”
