I turn messy data into clear answers.
Hi, I’m Kiana. I’m a Computer Science and Business graduate from the University of Florida living abroad in Sydney for 3 years now, building my analytics portfolio with SQL, Python and dashboards. I also take photos for a living, so I care how things look.

About
I have a background in computer science, business, and data analytics. I like the part of the job where numbers and patterns can turn into a decision someone can act on. I am extremely interested in all facets of what makes something works and its impact.
Outside of data, I work as a freelance photographer. It taught me to notice detail, work to a client brief and present work clearly, all of which carry over to analytics.
I am able to work in Sydney with full working rights due to my 820 Partner visa, on track for permanent residency.
