What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovation in data-driven decision-making.

I am a detail-oriented and analytical Data Analyst with a strong academic background in Political Science and advanced training in data analysis. My passion lies in leveraging data to drive business solutions and innovation. I have honed my skills in statistical modeling, data visualization, and extracting actionable insights to support data-driven decision-making.

Throughout my professional journey, I have gained valuable experience as a Data Analyst Intern, where I collected, cleaned, and analyzed large datasets to identify trends and insights. I created interactive dashboards using Power BI to track key performance indicators and utilized SQL to extract and manipulate data from relational databases. My ability to present data-driven recommendations to senior management has contributed to informed decision-making.

In addition to my internship, I have worked as a Research Assistant at Lagos State University, assisting professors in gathering and analyzing research data. I have developed projects such as a Customer Churn Prediction Model and a Political Data Visualization Dashboard, showcasing my ability to apply analytical skills to real-world problems. I graduated with distinction in my MSc Political Science program, achieving a CGPA of 4.7/5.0, and I am eager to bring my expertise to a dynamic team.
