What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, encourages collaboration, and allows me to apply my analytical skills to solve real-world business challenges.

I am a motivated graduate student pursuing a Master of Science in Information Technology Management at Oakland University, with a strong focus on Business Analytics. My academic journey has equipped me with the skills necessary to analyze data, design databases, and utilize visualization tools effectively. I am passionate about applying my analytical skills to drive insights and improve efficiency in business processes.

Throughout my education, I have engaged in various projects that showcase my ability to tackle complex problems. For instance, I developed a convolutional neural network model with a remarkable accuracy of 90.26% for breast cancer image classification. Additionally, I created a decision support tool that utilized mathematical models to solve business challenges, and I analyzed transactional records to assess the impact of pricing and promotions on sales volume.

With certifications such as the Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate, I am well-prepared to contribute to data-driven decision-making in any organization. I am eager to leverage my skills in a dynamic environment where I can continue to grow and make a meaningful impact.
