Priya Shah — Data Analyst — SQL, Python, Power BI

Data analyst with four years turning data into concrete decisions for sales and marketing teams. I make numbers simple to understand.

Why this example works

Every line ties analysis to a result: +6% conversion, 2 days saved a month, 40 dashboard users. That is what separates a useful analyst from a tool operator.

Tools are backed by a Power BI certification and a GitHub. The Midnight template gives a modern, technical look.

Keywords to mirror

Applicant tracking systems and recruiters scan for these terms. Reuse the ones that appear in the job posting, word for word.

  • Data analyst
  • Data analysis
  • SQL
  • Python
  • Power BI
  • Dashboards
  • KPIs
  • Statistics
  • Data visualization
  • A/B testing

Mistakes to avoid for this role

  • Listing tools with no results.
  • Too much jargon for a non-technical recruiter.
  • No link to your projects.
