What I'm looking for

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

I am a dedicated data scientist and educator with a strong background in machine learning and data analysis. Currently, I serve as a Teaching Instructor at MyDreamConnect, where I instruct students on various data science topics, including quantitative and qualitative analysis, data manipulation, and machine learning. My commitment to student success is evident through my involvement in curriculum design and mentoring, ensuring that my students are well-prepared for industry challenges.

In addition to my teaching role, I have gained practical experience as a Research Student and Teaching Assistant at Smart Data Analytic, where I developed a clinical data warehouse and created machine learning models to predict health risks. My research on client satisfaction in healthcare facilities showcases my ability to apply statistical analysis and natural language processing to real-world problems. I am passionate about leveraging data to drive insights and improve decision-making.
