What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment where I can apply my data analysis skills and grow professionally.

I am currently pursuing my Master's in Data Science and Analytics at Strathmore University, where I am honing my skills in R Programming, Python, SQL, and various analytics methodologies. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in both theoretical and practical aspects of data analysis, preparing me for a successful career in this dynamic field.

My professional experience spans several roles, including a Technical Assistant at Psilon Limited, where I coordinated conferencing systems and provided customer service. Additionally, I have a background in debt collection and customer relations, which has sharpened my communication and problem-solving skills. I thrive in team environments and am committed to delivering exceptional results.
