Bridging the gap between data and strategy ✦ Lead Data Strategy Consultant @ Redkite ✦ R Programmer ✦ Policy Nerd

Okay I probably have your attention here for about 10 seconds, so I’m going to be quick:

My niche is navigating the complex data world for organisations to help them deliver on their strategy

Basically, I bridge the gap between data and strategy

Want to know more? Here is how I do it:

💡 Learned as a strategy consultant what matters and what doesn’t
🎤 Storytell to help clients implement effectively (how do you properly engage the audience and infuse that story with the key takeaways/ implications)
💻 Use my R coding and strategy consulting experience to bridge the data scientist's "get lost in the data" approach with the "tell me what I need to know on one page" approach of the business executive
★ Live off my passion to see through positive outcomes, be that at work, on my blog or even when helping a friend

So why should you care?

1) I post my best tips 3-5x per week on LinkedIn
2) I make it relevant to you, as a student, business professional, executive, or whomever. My goal is to share relevant stuff with my audience
3) I try to be unique in what I share and deliver, as few people have the combination of experience I boast
4) I value feedback and input from all others out there. I pride myself on learning from others' perspectives so please add it to my content!

Data Analyst @ Golden Hearts Games

👋 Hey! I'm Kelly Adams, a data analyst at Golden Hearts Games. I also freelance as a course producer for Luke Barousse's YouTube Channel and create courses focusing on data analytics skills.

I have over a year of experience in data analysis, working closely with the product, user acquisition and marketing departments. At my job, I use tools like SQL, Python, Google Looker and Excel to extract, analyze, and visualize data, providing insights that drive business decisions.

I transitioned careers from paralegal to data analyst in July 2023. After taking the Google Data Analytics Course in 2022, which I did on a whim, I decided that I wanted to be a data analyst. Being able to use technical skills to solve business problems drew me to the field. 

My posts are essentially like my professional journal. I document what it's like being an early career data analyst, how I'm applying business knowledge to analytics and the technical skills I'm learning.
