I have always been a problem-solver for as long as I can remember. When I was a child my friends would come to me for help, especially if It involved dividing snacks equally. Growing up, I took an interest in mathematics, leading me to the degree I undertook in university. I am also passionate about community development and I believe that data analytics can and does play a huge role when it comes to interventions deployed in community development. This is the reason for my interest in volunteering for Solve for Good. I would like to grow my skills as a data analyst, all while helping solve some problems. I have had very little exposure to data analyses outside of the Kaggle projects I have been doing and I hope to get more practical and hands-on experience in the field.
