In my personal philosophy, I have always believed that everything that happens today must have been foreshadowed by clues or indicators in the past. The real question often lies in whether one possesses the ability to recognize and interpret those signals in a timely manner. The pursuit of understanding these cues has been a constant obsession of mine. It is this very desire that led me to decide on a data-centered career. I am deeply passionate about uncovering the narratives concealed within data.

After completing my post-secondary education in economics, which furnished me with a valuable theoretical foundation, I embarked on a transformative journey by enrolling in the Computer Systems Technology program at BCIT. In my second year of CST education, I chose the path of predictive analytics as my specialization option, allowing me to delve deeper into data analytics. Throughout my education, I've had the opportunity to become familiar with fundamental data analysis tools such as SQL, Python, and R, among other languages. In addition, I have improved my data visualization skills by working with tools like Excel and Tableau.

The world of data analytics is constantly evolving, and I am committed to lifelong learning to remain current in this dynamic field. My journey has just begun, and I'm eager to apply my skills to solve real-world problems and uncover the hidden narratives within data.
