Learning Data Analytics
Through the time I spent studying mathematics with computer science, I began to head in the direction of data science, especially data analytics. I enjoyed combining math and computer science with bits of machine learning as I was working on projects, labs, and reports for my classes. As I began to think, we use data almost every day and that it has been important in our lives as always. I got the chance the experience data analytics when I worked on my Interactive Qualifying project where my project involved building data to help us come up with marketing strategies and recommend improvements for a program we were working with. Which made me realize how important data is.
Getting into more of data analytics
This is why I decided to get a certificate in data analytics from the google certificate program that was offered fully online. The program had given me the opportunity of learning all about data analytics and the important concept behind it which gave me the full form of becoming a data analyst.
The important skills I have gained out of this certificate include the following:
-
Data Aggregation
-
Data Analytics
-
Data Calculations
-
Data Cleaning
-
Data Ethics
-
Data Visualization
-
Presentations
-
Problem Solving
-
R
-
Spreadsheets
-
SQL
-
Structured Thinking



Towards the end, a capstone project was completed where I got the chance to use the skills I have built to apply them to a real-world situation in the field of data analytics.
