What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth and innovation in data analytics.

I am a tech-savvy Data Analyst with a robust background in biological sciences and comprehensive training in software development and data analytics. I have completed a 12-month software development program, a 5-month Google Data Analytics course, and a 4-month Power BI specialization. Currently, I am enrolled in the ALX Africa Data Analytics Programme, where I am enhancing my proficiency in Python, SQL, R, Tableau, and Power BI.

My passion for artificial intelligence drives my critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. I am adept at data cleaning, visualization, and delivering actionable insights to support data-driven decisions. I have successfully applied my analytical expertise in various projects, including a business analysis project for CityLife360, where I provided actionable insights that supported strategic decision-making.
