Kanisha V.

Analytics & Project Management Consultant | Turning Data Into Greater Impact

Turning Complex Problems Into Clear Solutions

About Me

With 7 years of experience in analytics and project management, I bring a unique perspective to data-driven problem solving. My background in cognitive science and neural computation has taught me not just how to analyze data, but how to present it in ways that truly resonate with human decision-making.


I'm passionate about working with nonprofits and small organizations because these are often the groups doing the most important work while being the most resource-constrained. They need smart, efficient solutions that maximize impact without breaking the budget – and that's exactly what I aim to deliver.


My approach is rooted in a simple principle: break every problem down to its smallest components. Just like writing clean code, successful projects start with truly understanding what the client is trying to accomplish and why. Every project is a puzzle waiting to be solved, and I believe every puzzle has a solution. Whether you need to streamline operations, make sense of your data, or document complex processes, I'm here to help you turn challenges into opportunities for greater impact.
