Summary

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Data Science at Western Sydney University, where I am developing a strong foundation in data analysis, statistical modelling, and computational techniques. Alongside my academic endeavours, I serve as a Student Ambassador at the same institution, where I actively engage with prospective students and contribute to various outreach and support initiatives. Since 2023, I have been balancing both my studies and professional responsibilities, gaining valuable experience in communicating complex concepts, organising events, and fostering a supportive university community. My dual role as a student and ambassador has honed my skills in leadership, problem-solving, and interpersonal communication, preparing me for a dynamic career in data science and beyond.
