About Me

Seakleng Ren portrait

Data Analyst & Business Analytics Graduate

Hi, I'm Seakleng Ren — I bring together a strong accounting background and a fresh Business Analytics degree from Deakin University, driven by a passion for turning data into real business solutions.

My journey started with Certificate courses in English and Accounting, progressed through a Diploma and Advanced Diploma of Accounting, and recently culminated in a Bachelor of Business Analytics. Along the way, I've gained hands-on experience in finance roles, reporting, systems, and process improvement.

I enjoy using Power BI, Excel, SQL, and Python to build dashboards that turn data into clear, actionable insights. I'm also exploring machine learning and automation to drive smarter business performance.
