Overview

My interest in data and analysis motivated me to pursue a master’s degree in statistical data science. Through my studies, I developed strong analytical skills and gained exposure to emerging technologies such as machine learning. During this time, I worked on developing my technical skills in Python and discovered that I enjoyed learning new technical concepts. I decided to join Ten10 academy because I saw the opportunity to gain hands-on experience working in the tech industry and to work in an environment that fosters and encourages growth. This was important to me because I am curious-minded, and I have a strong drive to learn. Coming from a statistical background I was confident that I would be able to apply my analytical and problem-solving skills throughout training. Additionally, I understood that my experience working in customer-facing roles would contribute to maintaining good relationships with clients and colleagues alike.

Previous Work Experience

I have developed a key range of skills through work experience which I believe will positively impact my performance in the workplace. Whilst completing my research paper for my master’s degree, I developed analytical skills through doing research, testing and analysis into statistical shape analysis on planar shapes. Through this, I demonstrated my ability to think critically, analyse numerical data and communicate technical information clearly. This will help me communicate technical information to non-technical clients and customers. Additionally, in my previous role, I learned the importance of having good communication within a team as I worked with my team members to create selling techniques to boost sales which effectively increased our profit margin by 24%. My communication skills developed even further as I utilised them in liaisons with clients and managers to deliver services that meet client targets. Furthermore, I have worked in a fast-paced environment and developed the skill to quickly adapt to unexpected situations. Specifically, when resources are scarce, I work flexibly by taking on extra responsibilities within other teams to maintain the delivery of excellent service. Additionally, I implement quick problem-solving and produce fast solutions to solve customer queries to maintain good rapport. This further highlights my ability to effectively collaborate with team members and my ability to perform well under pressure.
