My career began in the United Kingdom, where I worked as a web and systems developer after completing my undergraduate degree. I moved to Belgium nearly 15 years ago, and I’ve built on that technical foundation as a data professional across a wide range of sectors, including healthcare, social care, HR, and non-profit organisations. That breadth of experience shapes the way I approach every data challenge:

My passion lies in building Power BI solutions, analytical frameworks, and accompanying documentation that are robust enough to scale ā and clear enough for everyone who works with them. That practical focus is grounded in a strong academic foundation:
Because the world of data never stands still, I make a point of continuously expanding my expertise. Recent certifications include Azure Fundamentals, SQL, and Advanced Power BI Data Transformation, among others. I am a native English speaker who is also fluent in Dutch.
I completed these projects on a part-time basis (20 hours per week). Managing my schedule this way allows me to maintain a healthy work-life balance, prevent burnout, and consistently deliver high-quality results.
