Hello, my name is

Maya Wilson

Data Analyst

About me

I am an enthusiastic graduate based in Los Angeles, with experience in web design/SEO optimization, strategic marketing, consumer behavior, and data management, modeling, and analytics.

I turn data into actionable insights

I bring a fresh perspective to data challenges with a background in business analytics, marketing, psychology, and Division I athletics. As a recent graduate of Tulane’s Master of Business Analytics program (3.9 GPA), I’ve developed strong technical skills while maintaining my status as a record-setting athlete.

I’ve worked through a variety of areas in analytics – from data management and visualization to strategic marketing and sports analytics. My experience analyzing Louisiana’s socioeconomic patterns at RNGD Construction and developing marketing strategies for brands like POPPI and Salt and Straw has taught me how to transform raw data into actionable recommendations. As Miami Heat representative in the Mock NBA Trade Deadline Competition, I applied data insights to craft strategic trade proposals while navigating complex NBA salary cap rules.

My psychology degree from UCLA (3.9 GPA) gives me an edge in spotting the human patterns behind the numbers, while my experience as Tulane’s Female Athlete of the Year and 7-record holder has instilled the discipline to execute projects with precision and meet tight deadlines.

Having worked on various projects across construction, consumer brands, and sports analytics, I offer thoughtful analysis tailored to specific business needs. With me, you aren’t forced to accept a one-size-fits-all approach – I provide insights that we can refine together to find the best solution for your organization.
