As a Chemical Engineer, I have embarked on a transformative journey fueled by my passion for Data Analysis and Visualization 🤩 It all started in 2021 when I received a scholarship from DataCamp to study Data Analysis. Although I had to pause my studies due to parenting responsibilities, my enthusiasm for data never faded 💪 Fast forward to today, I am a proud 3MTT fellow at Blue Sands Academy, a physical learning hub with a conducive environment that fosters growth and innovation. Here, I am gaining invaluable skills in Data Analysis and Visualization, which are crucial for my career in Engineering 🥰 The academy provides an excellent avenue for hands-on training. I always look forward to attending my weekly physical classes 😁 I am immensely grateful to the Minister of Communications, Innovations, and Digital Economy Dr. ‘Bosun Tijani for this life-transforming initiative. 3MTT Nigeria program has opened doors for many like me to pursue our dreams and enhance our skills in Tech.. A special shoutout to ALERO Thompson, the CEO of Blue Sands Academy, for creating such a nurturing learning environment. Ma, your vision and leadership are truly inspiring. I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to my facilitator, Kingsley Okechukwu for his mentorship, guidance, and resources. Sir, your support has been instrumental in my learning journey. Now, I am beginning to see the world through the lens of data. Every process and every outcome is a data point waiting to be analyzed 😃 Data analysis is not just a skill; it’s a new way of understanding and improving the world around us 💯 #3MTTLearningCommunity #My3MTT #DataAnalysis #BlueSandsAcademy #Gratitude #LearningJourney #Innovation
