Business Analyst with 3+ years of experience bridging business requirements and technical execution across business intelligence, data analytics, and AI-driven initiatives. M.S. in Business Analytics from Arizona State University.
I bring a combination of business understanding, analytical thinking, and technical execution. I’m comfortable taking a requirement from an initial stakeholder discussion, understanding the underlying business problem, translating it into clear user stories and acceptance criteria, and working closely with developers and QA to make it sprint-ready and follow through to delivery. I enjoy being involved throughout the process—not just documenting requirements, but resolving gaps, aligning expectations, and ensuring the solution addresses the actual business need.
At Symetra, I work across an 18-member cross-functional team supporting Life, Retirement, and Benefits, collaborating with different stakeholder groups, Product Managers, Developers, and QA. I also helped establish Definition of Ready guidelines to improve story quality and sprint readiness. My experience extends beyond traditional BA responsibilities: I can work with SQL, Python, Excel, ETL, and BI dashboards to investigate problems, validate data, and turn findings into actionable insights. I've also coordinated AI-driven research initiatives and explored Agentic AI opportunities to improve requirements intake and story creation.
I believe a good Business Analyst connects business problems with technical solutions, communicates effectively across teams, and takes ownership beyond documentation. I bring that mindset along with the ability to get into the data and technical details when needed. I'm looking for a team where I can contribute to meaningful business problems, improve how teams work, and help deliver solutions that make a measurable difference.
