Favourite and most Proud Professional Memory
A standout memory is leading a workshop on 'DATA WAR:
Challenges & Solutions' at Saint Peter’s University. Sharing insights on
data challenges and resolutions, and witnessing the enthusiastic engagement of
participants, underscored the impact of my work on educating and inspiring the
next generation of data scientists.
Another cherished memory that stands prominently in my
professional career is the launch of the Open Educational Resources (OER) book
on data visualization for graduate courses. The initiative was a significant
undertaking, aiming to democratize access to quality educational materials in a
field as dynamic and crucial as data science. The process of developing this
resource was a collaborative effort that involved not just distilling complex
concepts into accessible content, but also integrating practical tools and
applications that students could apply in real-world scenarios.
