As documented by Nyanga Camara

I am Nyanga, a dedicated professional who has been immersed in the field of data analytics for nearly eight years. Originally from Guinea, my career took flight in 2015 when I joined the Danish Refugee’s Council as a Database Assistant/Monitoring & Evaluator. In 2016, I first encountered the United Nations as an Operations Data Manager at UNHCR in Guinea. My path led me to the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA) in 2018, where I served as an Information Management Officer and Data Analyst. I relocated to Mali as part of this assignment.

Enrollment Decision and Career Goals:

As my contract with MINUSMA concluded in 2022, I recognized the need to upskill myself to pursue a promotion or secure a new job opportunity. During this time, I decided to enroll in the Data Analyst Master’s Program. Equipped with the program’s comprehensive knowledge and practical skills, I applied for a position in the data analytics wing at MINUSMA. Fortunately, my contract was renewed with a 5% salary increase, enabling me to continue working in the data analytics domain. My responsibilities have expanded, and I am now part of the wing that supports the entire mission in Mali through data analytics.

 

 

My experience with Simplilearn:

Motivated to stay abreast of the latest technologies in the market, I embarked on a learning journey with Simplilearn. In 2022, I began with the Data Analyst Master’s Program, building upon my existing expertise in data management. Impressed by the quality and variety of courses offered, I decided to pursue the Artificial Intelligence Master’s program. The comprehensive curriculum and industry-expert instructors enhanced my learning experience and inspired me to explore further courses in cloud computing and business analytics, all conveniently available on the Simplilearn platform.

Certification Provided a Career Boost:

Undoubtedly, the certification I obtained from Simplilearn has significantly propelled my career forward. While already working with MINUSMA, I realized that possessing a data analytics certification would give me a competitive edge in the job market. After completing the program, I applied for positions in the data analytics wing at MINUSMA. This certification served as a testament to my knowledge and skills, leading to the renewal of my contract with a 5% salary increase. As a result, my responsibilities have expanded, and I now engage with data internationally, contributing to a richer and more diverse professional experience.

Looking ahead, I remain steadfast in pursuing my career goals. Having successfully transitioned from data management to data analytics, I am determined to evolve further into the role of a business analyst. To achieve this, I intend to take additional courses from Simplilearn, honing my expertise in this dynamic field.

In conclusion, my journey of upskilling with Simplilearn has been transformative. The platform’s comprehensive courses and industry-relevant curriculum have been instrumental in my professional growth, from enriching my knowledge and skills to propelling my career to new heights. As I continue my learning journey, I am excited about the endless possibilities that lie ahead, empowered by the skills and expertise gained through Simplilearn’s certification programs.
