Aspiring data scientist focused on analytics for educational impact.

What I'm looking for

I seek entry-level data roles where I can apply SQL, visualization, and generative AI skills to improve educational access and drive social impact in collaborative, mission-driven teams.

I am an aspiring data scientist with a strong foundation in problem-solving, analytics, and education-focused technology projects. I combine technical training with a passion for improving access to quality learning in underserved communities.

I have hands-on experience designing and implementing a database system using SQL, creating ERDs, queries, and full documentation, and I have completed coursework in data analytics essentials and digital literacy.

I completed the AWS Generative AI Nanodegree (Udacity) and gained practical experience training models and prototyping AI applications for education and business solutions. I have actively contributed to volunteer projects researching digital learning challenges and building offline and digital prototypes for inclusive education.

I bring strong communication and customer-facing experience from retail work, along with collaborative project experience through ALX, PLP, and FNB App Academy. I am eager to apply data visualization, dashboarding, and data storytelling skills to drive impact-focused analytics initiatives.
