What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that fosters growth and innovation, where I can apply my analytical skills and contribute to impactful projects.

My name is Alin Sikar, and I am currently pursuing a major in Business Analytics at the University of Amsterdam. With a solid academic background, including an International Baccalaureate Diploma, I have developed a strong analytical mindset and a passion for data-driven decision-making. I have excelled in various courses such as Data Science, Algorithms, and Machine Learning, which have equipped me with the necessary skills to tackle complex business challenges.

Throughout my academic journey, I have not only focused on my studies but also engaged in numerous extracurricular activities that have honed my leadership and teamwork skills. As the founder and president of the He For She Club at my high school, I successfully organized events to raise awareness for gender equality and fostered a sense of community among students. My commitment to social causes is further demonstrated through my volunteer work, where I have contributed to various initiatives aimed at supporting women's rights and animal welfare.
