About Me
Welcome to my analytics portfolio.
Hello, I'm Prethela.
I love asking "why?" and "how can this be better?" That mindset has shaped both my academic and professional journey in analytics. I'm passionate about turning messy data into meaningful insights, solving problems, improving processes, and exploring how analytics and AI can help organizations work smarter. This curiosity led me to pursue a Master's in Management Analytics at McGill University and work on projects across industries ranging from consumer goods to artificial intelligence.
When I'm not analyzing data or debugging code, you'll probably find me painting, dancing, or practicing my French while exploring the city of Montreal. Fun fact: I'm essentially a walking Montreal travel guide! I always have a list of café and restaurant recommendations ready for any neighborhood, occasion, or vibe.
