In late 2020, I got an opportunity to work as a data annotator in an AI company (ISAHIT). This role sparked my interest in data. As I grew into the role, I started working on so many data-related projects handling various types of data.

Eventually, I realized that I enjoyed working with data and that I was good at it. So I started researching more about the field and eventually came across Coursera. This is when I decided to take the Google Data Analytics Course. I did the course for 8 months and I enjoyed every minute of it.

My educational background in urban and regional planning gave me an understanding of how to ask the right questions. My experience as a data annotator gave me insight into how to work with people from all over the world.

I am now searching for a data analyst role that will be a stepping stone for my career in tech.
