Want to change my profile niche

[asma011]

Hi,
I have been a part of upwork since 2019 and when I joined upwork I was not expert in my field i.e Financial planning, Bookkeeping, Financial models making and other similar stuff.
Now I have 3 years of experience and I feel Very confident about my work. I have also completed my CFA certification.
Basically i started my upwork account as a data entry freelancer like lead generation, internet research etc.

Now I want to change my profile to work as a professional financial analyst. so, the question is that can i do so? can i change my profile to my own profession niche? Does upwork allow that?

Hi Joanne, Thanks for your response. I wanted to know whether I can just simply change my current profile or do I have the only option to make a specialized profile?
