What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters growth and innovation in data science.

I am an aspiring data scientist with a solid foundation in mathematics and computer science, honed through my education at institutions like Brandon University and Red River College. My journey has been enriched by formal, nonformal, and informal learning experiences, allowing me to develop strong problem-solving and technological skills. I am currently pursuing certifications in Data Science and Machine Learning, which complement my Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics and Chemistry.

Throughout my academic career, I have applied AI models and generative AI technologies to enhance learning experiences in academic settings. My proficiency in Python and various libraries such as Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib has enabled me to create insightful data visualizations and conduct thorough data analyses. I have collaborated with teams to develop machine learning models, demonstrating my ability to work effectively in diverse environments while communicating fluently in English, Spanish, and French.
