Summary
I have always had a passion for finding answers and understanding how things work. After spending years in the hospitality industry, I was reconnected to my love for coding after a re-introduction to excel. This lead to me diving into the world of data, and immediately falling in love with data analysis. Despite not coming from a computer background, I have pushed myself to learn as much as I can about analysis and coding, so I can continue to pursue this passion.
