Introduction
Originally hailing from West Africa, my journey to the United States at the tender age of two set the stage for a life of resilience and ambition, much inspired by my hardworking mother. From a diverse career spanning sales in multinational corporations like Kraft Foods and Coca-Cola to educating children with special needs, my professional path has been anything but linear. My latest venture involves working as a Civil Servant & Sourcing Specialist at the Department of Rehabilitation, coupled with my role as the Director for Africa at Gatherverse, a thriving tech platform.
Enrollment Decision and Career Goals
My thirst for knowledge and the desire to make a meaningful impact led me to explore further education. With the world rapidly embracing technology and the metaverse, I felt a compelling urge to understand the intricacies of data analytics. This quest for comprehension directed me towards Simplilearn’s Professional Certificate Program in Data Analytics, in collaboration with Purdue University. My goal was not only to diversify my career but also to leverage this knowledge in aiding adults at the Department of Rehabilitation and enriching the technological framework of Gatherverse.
My Experience with Simplilearn
The experience with Simplilearn was transformative. The curriculum’s depth, coupled with the practical application through projects, allowed me to grasp complex concepts with clarity. Faculty members, with their encouraging demeanor, played a pivotal role in this journey, making even the most daunting topics accessible. The projects were not just assignments; they were stepping stones that bridged the gap between theoretical knowledge and its real-world application.
