What I'm looking for
My MSc in Business and Data Analytics at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology builds on my BA in Sociology and experience in research, quantitative analysis, and reporting.
For my research project, “Socio-Cultural Challenges of Entrepreneurship,” I examined how social and cultural backgrounds influence entrepreneurship, analysed research information, and presented findings in an academic context.
As a Teaching & Research Assistant in the Department of Sociology and Social Work, KNUST, I supported teaching activities, assessed scripts and students’ research work, and helped prepare academic materials.
At Kayak Technology Group, I assist with implementing web application features, testing and validating them before release, and identifying issues. I use Microsoft Excel, SPSS, Power BI, Python, and Pandas, and have developing knowledge of R.
