What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and detail-oriented data analyst with a strong foundation in statistics and data science, currently pursuing my MSc at the University of Texas at El Paso. My academic journey has equipped me with advanced skills in statistical theory, data analysis, and machine learning, allowing me to tackle complex data challenges effectively. I have a proven track record of enhancing productivity through data-driven decision-making, as demonstrated during my tenure as a Data Manager at Tema Fuel Company, where I achieved significant improvements in payment efficiency and reduced outstanding receivables.
In addition to my professional experience, I have actively contributed to various projects and publications, including a study on diabetes prediction using machine learning and the development of an interactive R Shiny application for real estate data analysis. My commitment to continuous learning is reflected in my numerous certifications in data analytics and governance. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive impactful outcomes and am eager to contribute to a forward-thinking organization that values data-driven insights.
