What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster growth, innovation, and collaboration in data science.

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Information Science at the University of Illinois, where I have maintained a GPA of 3.66. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid understanding of data science, machine learning, and database applications. I have a passion for leveraging data to drive insights and improve decision-making processes.

In my previous role as the Founder and Social Media Director at GenixAutos NG, I successfully increased vehicle sales by 25% through targeted social media advertising. My ability to analyze customer data and develop effective marketing strategies has honed my skills in data analytics and problem-solving. Additionally, I am actively involved in nonprofit organizations like ColorStack and Black Brilliant Minds, where I contribute to empowering students and professionals of color in the tech industry.
