Hello! I have recently completed the Google's Data Analytics course at Merit America and are excited to start new career as an aspiring Data Analyst. My journey started five years ago when, as a homeless single parent with just a GED, I enrolled in a non-profit trade school (Perscholas) and obtained certifications in IT. I've since worked in various IT roles, including starting my own tech company, JII Technologies, with support from Microsoft.Now, I'm diving into data analytics because I find it fascinating to uncover solutions to problems. Despite not having a degree or traditional education, I'm determined to succeed and have already achieved several milestones, such as registering my business, sharing financial advice on a podcast, and even launching a clothing brand. My past doesn't define me; I'm focused on building a better future for myself and others.Through hard work and faith, I've overcome challenges, and now I'm working towards establishing a non-profit to support women, children, and families in need. My current focus is on learning and gaining the skills needed to realize my future goals.
