What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level role where I can apply SQL, databases, and data analysis to solve real problems, learn from strong mentors, and contribute to measurable improvements. I value clear teamwork, fairness, and practical impact.

I’m a Teaching Assistant at the University of Ghana’s Department of Information Studies, where I assist faculty with preparing teaching materials, managing departmental logistics, and grading assignments, projects, and exams. I also support assessment integrity by supervising examinations, maintaining fairness and discipline, and addressing student queries during assessments.

Through hands-on projects, I’ve focused on turning data into better outcomes—designing a hospital database system using SQL and datamodeling to streamline patient records and reduce administrative inefficiencies. Alongside that, I’m building my analytical foundation through my studies (including expected certification in Google Data Analytics), applying data analysis and systemsthinking to identify inefficiencies, and supporting data-informed initiatives through volunteering with YILT Africa.
