About

I am passionate about analysing data and using coding to extract data-driven insights. I find joy in understanding the world through the lens of economics and honing my data analytics skills. I am proficient in Python, R, SQL, Stata and Tableau, and I have actively utilised my skills to derive solutions for real-world problems. As an individual, I am inquisitive and proactive. I am also someone who has strong critical thinking and analytical skills. I am passionate about analysing business problems, devising solutions to guide future decisions and improving workflows. In a team, I aspire to be an inspirational leader who empowers my teammates as we strive to deliver high-quality results and constantly seek avenues to improve and excel together. My motto as a leader is to empower people to become better versions of themselves as we work towards a common goal. In my spare time, I enjoy being physically active through running and volleyball, making a cup of coffee, and indulging in the meditative effects of stargazing.
