This week, I began preparing for my research presentation. After looking at different platforms, I decided that Canva was best for designing my theme. I included my quote and mentors, and I am starting to work on my research assessment and speech that goes along with it. I hope this will allow me to continue improving my communication adn public speaking skills. I also continued researching for my original work, learning about SQL and Python in my data science course. Although I have only learned the basics of each, I am excited to continue learning more about both. I also reached out to a professional named Ms. Gigi Coburn, a Senior Data Scientist at State Farm, and she invited me to an event next Thursday for all the data scientist in the area. It was so cool when I looked at the event, as it is huge – over 150 data scientists attending! I am very excited to attend the event and hopefully learn more about all aspects of data science, while connecting with many professionals. This is a great networking opportunity so I plan to make the most of it. I am so amazed at Ms. Coburn’s work, as she has planned such an amazing event and I am looking forward to meeting her.
