Ama Boadu - Resume

Personal Profile

I have had the opportunity to work in a number of fields but decided to make a change, earning certification in cloud services along the way. During this journey, I had the chance to mentor students in cloud services, data, and machine learning. This experience allowed me to develop strong skills in collaboration, communication, and problem-solving, which I have applied in both group and individual projects.

I am currently enrolled in a 12-week intensive Digital Skills Bootcamp in Data with Just IT Training. This program is helping me deepen my understanding of data and expand my skill set, with a particular focus in Data cleaning and data visualisation. I am actively working on several projects to build my online GitHub portfolio.

My goal is to transition into a Data Analyst role through an apprenticeship, where I can gain the practical experience, and skills needed to grow as a Data professional. I am committed to continuing my development and making a meaningful impact in the field.
