Data Analyst · AI Governance & Data Literacy

The hardest part of governance isn't the framework — it's making sure everyone understands what's at stake.

EU Compliance
& AI Ethics

I work with the regulatory frameworks that shape how organisations handle data and AI responsibly — EU AI Act, GDPR, FRIA, and human rights-based approaches to bias detection, privacy risks, and ethical impact assessments. My background in Human Rights Law gives this work a foundation that goes beyond compliance: I understand what these frameworks are actually protecting.

Communication & Training

I turn complex frameworks into clear, accessible language that sticks. Through storytelling, tailored workshops, and hands-on training, I make sure every team — legal, HR, operations, leadership — not only understands what governance requires, but knows how to apply it. And because I work with the technical tools myself, I know exactly where people get lost — and how to bring them back.

Data-driven Governance

I use SQL, Python, and Power BI to build dashboards and KPI frameworks that make governance visible — turning policy into measurable business outcomes and giving leadership the evidence they need to make informed decisions.

About Me

Micaela Lafratta facilitating a workshop with an audience

I'm a Data Analyst and Communications Strategist with 8 years of experience working with data — tracking KPIs, optimising conversion funnels, building reporting frameworks and turning analytics into decisions for clients across the EU third sector, SaaS and international cooperation.

In 2025 I completed an intensive Data Analysis & AI programme at Adalab, formalising that practice into a full technical stack: Python, SQL, Power BI and Tableau. The projects I built there — people analytics, EDA pipelines, interactive dashboards — are extensions of work I've been doing for years, now with the tools to go deeper.

My background in Human Rights Law gives the data work a direction. I care about what the numbers represent — who they affect, how frameworks are applied, and whether the people who need to act on them actually understand what they're looking at. That's what pulls me toward data governance and AI ethics as a longer-term focus: not as a regulatory exercise, but as a question of consequences.
