"Data is the new oil." This thesis, originating from The Economist, certainly hasn't escaped your notice any more than it has mine - and for good reason. Data flows through both our professional and personal lives and has become an integral part of modern communication. I'm firmly convinced that the significance of data will continue to grow, making it increasingly crucial to analyze and make it comprehensible.
My fascination with data analytics evolved gradually through my experiences in both academia and the professional world. While language was my primary tool during my time as a PR consultant, today's communication is hardly imaginable without data and statistics. Without going out on too much of a limb, I would even argue that data enables more effective communication than written text. The visual representation of data is undoubtedly one of the most important tools for conveying complex matters objectively and effectively.
As a Business Development Manager at a food startup, I was responsible for analyzing inventory, profit, and loss. As you can imagine, it wasn't just crucial to properly organize the results in Excel sheets, but especially to transform the gathered information into valuable insights. I quickly discovered Excel's limitations, as its analysis and visualization capabilities no longer met my needs. Additionally, my interest in the field of data grew, and I discovered great joy in interpreting numbers.
Through my various roles, I've learned about the versatility of data applications, and now I want to seize the opportunity to master the art of data analysis and apply my skills in exciting projects.
