About Me
I’m a recent Business MIS graduate with a strong foundation in technology and data analytics, and a genuine interest in how things work—from products to processes to people.
I started out focused on data and software roles, which gave me a solid technical base. But along the way, I became more interested in how businesses run, how decisions are made, and how to solve real problems in practical ways.
Given the current job market, I’m staying open to a range of entry-level roles—especially ones that offer growth, learning, and the chance to take on new challenges. Whether it’s in operations, strategy, or something cross-functional, I’m looking to join a team where I can contribute, adapt, and grow.
