About Me
Hi, I'm Selena Vaughn. I am a business professional with more than ten years of experience working directly with corporate executives performing data analysis. I have spent the last three years working with IT to coordinate meaningful software solutions, resulting in 11 fully interactive Power BI reports, a full scale Business Glossary using Power Platform, and a comprehensive User Guide.
I love turning data into informative visuals that tell a story and drive decisions. I made it a goal to automate tedious manual excel sheets with dynamic reports and dashboards that are more accurate, more timely, and better able to drive decisions. I like to consider three key areas for data analysis: Data Quality, Business Intelligence, and Effective Communication. You can read more about these below.
When I'm not playing with data I'm probably playing with cats (or other critters). I've rescued, fostered, or adopted more than a dozen animals in the past few years. Check out my Critters page for their stories and your daily dose of cat pictures.​​
