About
Master of Business Analytics graduate from the University of Auckland with a background in Statistics. I enjoy getting to the story behind the data combining conceptual thinking with hands-on analysis to shape how data is structured and interpreted, not just working with final outputs. My Master's industry project involved analysing New Zealand's economic and trade data from multiple sources for a government client, working through ambiguity to translate complex information into insights that informed decisions.
Comfortable working across datasets and systems, with a genuine interest in how automation and AI can streamline statistical production. Motivated by work that matters nationally, and keen to bring both technical capability and a collaborative mindset to Stats NZ.
