About

Hi, I’m Pauline. A data analyst

I love working with numbers and solving puzzles so working with data is a natural fit for me.

I help clients find more insights and streamline processes by analysing their data, resulting in access to valuable information in a timely manner.

Data analyst

I’m a freelance data analyst. Based In Aberdeen, UK, I work both locally and remotely.

I enjoy helping clients spot trends or patterns which they may otherwise miss. By summarising their data into diagrams it can help focus their attention on items which matter most to the business, help them solve real-world problems, and make informed decisions.

Data education

I also believe in encouraging people to get the most out of their data therefore I share data and coding projects together with useful resources to help you gain knowledge from your data on this website and on my YouTube channel.

Experience and Qualifications

I have over 30 years experience of working with data, including working in banking and corporate tax, although it was 2018 before I specialised in the field of data analytics. In data I work across a variety of industries and subjects. More information on which can be found on my Freelance page.

Keen on self development, I have obtained a Masters in IT with Business Intelligence from Robert Gordon University Aberdeen, and am a Microsoft Certified Power BI Data Analyst.

Whilst working in finance, I qualified as a Chartered Banker and Chartered Tax Adviser.

Active in the Data Community

I am an advocate for sharing knowledge and working with others to help solve problems.  I regularly attend data related events and hackathons. Mention of some of the events attended can be found in the Blog section, with hackathon projects which have made it onto Microsoft’s Power BI Community Data Stories Gallery detailed in the Portfolio section of this website.

I have also undertaken data talks in my local community of Aberdeen, Scotland.

I’m excited to see what the future holds for data analytics and I’m committed to helping businesses use data to make a positive impact for the benefit of society.

Always happy to discuss data matters. My email address is contact@dataforknowledge.co.uk

Thank you for visiting my site!
