Practicum Student

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.
