Data Analyst | Tableau Consultant | Author of How to Become a Data Analyst

If you're reading this you probably either:
1. Want a job in data. 
2. Want a friend in data.
3. Need a data analyst. 

If you're #1, I was you, just one year ago! I've shared how I went from beginner to experienced data professional since the beginning.

Its my goal to create the kind of content a younger version of me would have wanted to consume!

#2, thanks for being here! Feel free to give me a wave. Lets be social!

#3's, hello 👋. If you haven't yet, check out my portfolio site, or my Annie's Analytics company page on here where I offer consulting services.

Heres my story. 

In February of 2022, I decided to learn data analytics for fun. I created a Tik Tok account, and started documenting my journey to learn this new hobby (@anniesanalytics). 

Very soon, I realized that every day I was waking up and just wanting to write SQL, build visualizations, learn Python.... Work with data! So, I decided that once I finished graduate school (in Healthcare) in July, I was going to become a data analyst. 

Along the way, I have shared here and on Tik Tok everything I can about what it's like to learn data analytics, and how you can do it for free or at least very cheaply. I've shared about the ups and downs of job searching. I've even shared about how I have built a portfolio, and set myself up as a real analyst. 

Now I also do YouTube videos, especially my series where I invite other data analysts to have a coffee chat with me, but we live stream it! We talk about our journeys into data and what our jobs look like now. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3wIL0Blsv2vf8aAjTQXo017YntAXqrZc


Want to see my Portfolio as it was when I got my first job in analytics? I left it here in exactly the same state that it was when I got my job in July of 2022 to serve as an example to you, if you are a job seeker now! https://anniesanalytics.wixsite.com/annie-nelson/projects-6

Annie Nelson

Data Project Manager | Business Support|Committed to driving growth through In-depth research & analysis.

Small inefficiencies add up—scattered workflows, unclear processes, and outdated tools quietly eat into your growth.

As a Strategic Business Operations Manager & Executive Assistant, I help startups and growing businesses eliminate these roadblocks by streamlining workflows, improving collaboration, and implementing scalable systems.

Common pain points I solve:

📌 Inbox Overload – Critical emails lost in chaos, leading to missed opportunities.
📌 Inefficient Scheduling – Poor coordination causes dropped client follow-ups.
📌 Unclear Processes – Lack of SOPs creates bottlenecks when scaling.
📌 Missed Deadlines – Unstructured timelines delay projects and frustrate teams.
📌 Resource Mismanagement – Uneven workloads burn out key players.
📌 Outdated Tools – Clunky tech slows down remote collaboration.

Hi, I’m Shabana—Your Strategic Partner in Streamlined Operations

I specialize in helping startups and remote-first businesses optimize workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and implement data-driven systems for sustainable growth. My approach blends executive support, operational strategy, and productivity tech to free your time for high-impact work.
How I Drive Efficiency

✔️ Workflow Optimization – Cut redundancies with structured communication & task management.
✔️ Project Execution – Keep deliverables on track with agile coordination.
✔️ Team Productivity – Balance workloads and leverage the right tools for remote collaboration.
✔️ Scalable Systems – Build SOPs to eliminate guesswork as you grow.
✔️ Client & Financial Operations – Smooth onboarding and transparent oversight.
Why Work With Me?

I don’t just "assist"—I analyze, strategize, and elevate. Together, we’ll:

    Simplify operations to reduce wasted time/resources.

    Strengthen your infrastructure for seamless scaling.

    Focus your energy on growth, not glue work.

Let’s work together to make it happen!
