About Section

Hi, I’m Christine Vargas—an HR Data Analyst and dashboard enthusiast with a passion for turning complex systems into clean, actionable insights

I’ve worked with cross-functional teams at Paylocity, FoundationRisk Partners, and Universal Creative to streamline HRIS processes, build Power BI dashboards for hybrid workplace planning, and reduce manual audits by 40% through automation and Excel logic

While the data in this portfolio is simulated to protect confidentiality, the tools, workflows, and analytical thinking reflect my real-world experience solving messy, people-driven data challenges. Whether it’s Workday reports, SQL queries, or headcount forecasting models, I build with clarity, collaboration, and purpose.

Let’s connect—I’m currently seeking opportunities to bring thoughtful data design to HR, BI, or operational analytics teams.

I'm actively seeking full-time or contract roles in HRIS, HR Analytics, or BI-focused environments where I can make an immediate impact.
