James Daykin

As a dedicated data enthusiast, I've gained valuable skills in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, Power BI and SQL through an online analytics bootcamp, along with a general knowledge of the role of a data analyst. This training has equipped me with practical experience in data cleaning, manipulation, and dashboard creation. Coupled with my PGCE in Secondary School Mathematics and background in data administration, I am well-prepared to contribute to data-driven decision-making processes.
