Curiosity-driven: you see anomalies, dig deeper, and ask 'why?'
Business-first mindset: metrics, dashboards, and models serve outcomes - not the other way around
Proactive & transformational: you don't wait for asks - you spot what matters and drive it forward
Structured & methodical: your approach to data quality, validation, and automation gives teams confidence
