Skills

Business + Analytical Skills (Hard Skills)

  • Data & financial analysis: budgeting basics, variance thinking, scenario comparisons, ROI/NPV-style decision support

  • Excel (advanced): formulas (IF, XLOOKUP/INDEX-MATCH, COUNTIFS), data cleanup, summaries, dashboards, and clear outputs for decision-makers

  • Market & industry research: synthesizing messy information into clean insights, especially around transportation and electrification ecosystems

  • Project planning: organizing deliverables, timelines, dependencies, and stakeholder needs (turning “ideas” into an executable plan)

  • Operations mindset: process improvement, documentation, standard work, and building repeatable systems

Communication + Leadership (Soft Skills)

  • Stakeholder communication: translating technical and business information into clear updates, action items, and next steps

  • Collaboration & team support: dependable follow-through, strong internal coordination, and a “let’s solve it” attitude

  • Customer-first service mindset: learned through hands-on roles—helping people get what they need, not what’s easiest

  • Detail-oriented execution: staying organized when there are a lot of moving pieces (events, schedules, rosters, logistics)

Technology + AI Skills

  • Tools: Excel, PowerPoint, Word/Google Workspace, Qualtrics (survey design), and CRM-style contact/relationship management

  • AI as a productivity tool: using AI to brainstorm, outline, refine messaging, structure research, and speed up admin work

  • Responsible use: I treat AI outputs as a draft—then validate facts, ensure clarity, and align the final result to the audience and goal

Hobbies

These aren’t “random fun facts”, they reflect how I’m wired and how I show up professionally.
