Ghazaleh Faraji

I hold both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Economics, specializing in data analysis and econometrics. Through my academic pursuits, I developed a strong affinity for Python programming, which allowed me to effectively handle and analyze data. This newfound skill sparked my interest in business analysis, prompting me to embark on a journey of self-study and secure a position as a junior business analyst for a year.

Driven by my desire for further knowledge, I decided to pursue a Master's program in Applied Business Analytics at Carleton University. Having successfully completed the program, I realized my passion for continuous learning remains steadfast. Currently, I am actively preparing for the PMI-PBA exam to enhance my expertise in the field.

Equipped with a solid foundation in business analysis tools and techniques, I am now eagerly seeking a role that enables me to apply the comprehensive knowledge and skills I have acquired throughout my journey as a business analyst.
