Convert unstructured data from rows to sorted columns

Hi, I am looking to create a workflow that creates a table of organized data into columns from unstructured data. It is a list of individuals and various information about them all in one row. As you scroll down, you will see that there is a second individual with their data all in one row. 

 

How to I move this data from one row into the various columns using Alteryx? 

 

The file of the data is attached for reference, and happy to chat more. Thank you!

I assumed that fields beginning with "Profile result -" indicated that a new record was starting. Check out the example solution attached to this post and let me know that works for you.

Thanks so much! There was another solution that worked better, but I will be saving this for the future.
