A Journey from Medicine to Data Analytics

I’m Carolina, a medical doctor from Argentina, graduated from the National University of the South. I hold a master’s degree in Digital Health Innovation from the Complutense University of Madrid.

With a blend of formal education and self-study, I have gained expertise in epidemiology, biostatistics and data governance. I have also developed skills in several programming languages and data visualization tools, enabling me to bridge the gap between medical knowledge and data analytics.

I started my career providing home-based care for both adults and children. This experience was deeply rewarding and helped me build strong connections with my patients. Over time, I saw an opportunity to extend my impact beyond individual care, which led me to explore the world of data.

The shift from clinical practice to data analytics felt natural. Today, I work as a freelance healthcare data analyst. I use tools like Power BI, Python, and SQL to analyze clinical metrics and identify areas for improvement, helping healthcare providers deliver more effective and efficient care.

Every day, healthcare systems generate vast amounts of data. But simply having data isn’t enough. By diving into these numbers, we can uncover compelling stories and forge narratives that provide clear, effective insights. These narratives not only inform but inspire evidence-based actions that have a real impact on society. Achieving this demands a robust methodological approach, critical thinking, and a significant creative component.
