Lia Julien Azevedo Csuraji

As a recent graduate with a Bachelor's degree in Sociology and a Master's in Statistics, I bring a blend of social insight and analytical proficiency to the table. While I may not have direct work experience, my academic journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in both quantitative analysis and understanding societal dynamics. Throughout my degree, I acquired hands-on experience with analyzing different types of data and using several statistical techniques.

I can work with both R and Python. I possess the technical skills necessary to navigate and manipulate complex datasets. More importantly, I am a fast learner, eager to adapt and apply new techniques and technologies in the field of data science.

Having lived in Belgium for six years, I have cultivated a deep appreciation for diverse perspectives and a good command of the French language.

My true passion lies in the process of data cleaning. I see it as the crucial first step towards uncovering meaningful insights and ensuring the integrity of any analysis. I particularly enjoy making data usable. I approach this task with dedication and precision, recognizing its pivotal role in the data lifecycle.

I am now seeking opportunities to apply my skills and knowledge in a professional setting. I am looking to this new chapter as an opportunity to grow and learn by working with a company.
