What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters learning and collaboration, focusing on innovative data solutions.

I am a dedicated data science intern with a strong passion for analyzing large volumes of data and building machine learning models that drive key business decisions. My experience includes spearheading the development of a predictive model for streaming music trends using AWS Sagemaker, which has honed my skills in cloud computing and data analysis.

In my role as a virtual assistant for the Global Mental Health Alliance, I managed data collection and profiling, utilizing Business Hub CRM to process reports and dashboards. My ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams has been instrumental in creating a comprehensive database of company records and music catalogs, which we successfully migrated to the cloud.
