Solving problems with data
Get the gist of how a girl is solving problems with data
Welcome to my little corner where I keep you informed on events and how I solve problems with data.
MY STORY
My name is Moyosore Lawal Balogun. I am a Data and Analytics Professional who is passionate about solving problems with data.
Growing up, when most kids knew what they wanted to be in the future, I had no clue what I wanted, but what I did not want to be was apparent. Thinking about it now, I knew what I wanted to do but did not want to go to school for it. My friends and I went to the library to get a gigantic career book, and, oh boy, I saw so many I did not even know existed, but none felt right. I could not just imagine doing most of the jobs I saw around. Another thing was I had an unusual combination of classes for my time – Literature, Geography, Sciences - Physics, Chemistry, but no Biology – everyone in my grade did all sciences but me. My favorites were Math, Physics, and Further Maths. They just made more sense to me, hahaha.
Well, I had to go to college, so a close family friend and our English home tutor – Professor Clement O. O. Kolawole – suggested Computer Information Systems (CIS). Now, that got me excited, and I have not looked back since then. With CIS, I was able to combine my distinct interests and found my niche – Data! When I started working with data, there was not much value for it compared to now. I kept at it and leveraged my data skills for everything else I did. Data has always been essential. It is critical for decision-making in every industry at every level.
My goal is to empower individuals and companies to benefit from the value of data by coaching, strategizing, and implementing solutions for them. I understand what it means to be clueless about something, and I believe in simplicity. I know how overwhelming starting this journey can be for aspiring analysts/engineers and companies. I am on a mission to solve problems with data, bridging the digital gap for kids and decision-makers. This page is my little corner to showcase the work and share my experiences.
I hope you get to share this with friends and family. Let us begin to solve problems differently.
