Data analyst with project management expertise & lover of cats
Summary
One of kind, hopeful romantic who is madly in love with her gamer, nerd husband, 5 rescue cats and nephew. Absolutely loves bringing chaos to order by digging into the details, analyzing, searching for best practices and ensuring data integrity.
The whole is equal to the sum of its parts and it’s not always a straight line that will get you to where you are going.
My love for data analysis began a child and teenager though I was not aware what it was called. Reading Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, Agatha Christie, VC Andrews, Dean Koontz, John Saul, Brian Lumley and Steven King all gave me the curiosity to piece together the clues to figure out what was happening before it actually happened. The more I read, the more I was able to pick up on the little puzzle pieces and patterns to solve and figure out what was going to happen. As I was reading, I was analyzing everything little detail without even knowing it and this led into my everyday life. As I grew older, my fascination with solving problems, finding the patterns, solving the mysteries led to my love for data analysis and problem solving. Being able to turn chaos into order by analyzing the data is pure excitement.
I exercise a calculated and methodical approach to data analysis, organization and problem solving. I am independently motivated, yet I appreciate team efforts and collaborate productively within groups. Additionally, I am knowledgeable in data mining, data integrity with proficiency in Excel.
If you need a Data Analyst professional who knows how to put the puzzle pieces together and manage the chaos. Let’s talk! You can reach me at gingerhainer@me.com or (262) 902-6218.
