Aspiring accountant with a passion for data analysis and AI.
What I'm looking for
I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting at the University of Johannesburg, where I have maintained an impressive academic record, earning a partial bursary for my achievements. My passion for accounting is complemented by my recent certifications in Business Analysis and Project Management, as well as Investment Risk Management from Coursera. These educational experiences have equipped me with a solid foundation in financial principles and analytical skills.
In my professional journey, I have taken on roles that blend my interests in accounting and data analysis. As an AI Evaluator and Trainer at Outlier, I enhance AI systems' performance through meticulous evaluation and data curation. My experience as a data annotator and analyst on Clickworker has further honed my analytical skills, allowing me to derive insights from complex data sets. Additionally, my freelance writing has developed my storytelling abilities, enabling me to communicate effectively and engage diverse audiences.
