About Viviana

The art of making complexity beautiful.

I'm a data analyst and strategist who believes the most powerful thing you can do with a spreadsheet is tell a story that moves people.

Pursuing a BBA in Computer Information Systems with a Finance minor at UTEP, I sit at a rare intersection: I speak the language of data fluently — Python, SQL, Power BI — and I translate it into decisions that matter. Whether I'm managing $40K in sponsorships for a nationally ranked rocket team, conducting audits at a health center, or building a fullstack app, I bring the same thing to the table: precision with warmth.

Bilingual in Spanish and English, with working French — I've learned that the best analysis is only as good as the relationship it's delivered within. Data without connection is just noise.
