Hi, my name is Mariia.
I have a Bachelor's degree in Physical Therapy and a Master's degree in Volleyball Coaching. When I moved to Germany, I realized that I can't work in my fields, so I needed to requalify. I found a course for data analysts, which I completed in 5 months, gaining my first skills in data processing and visualization. It was during this course that I realized this is exactly what I want to do.
And that's why I'm here now – to enhance my knowledge and skills and have the opportunity to be part of something big while promoting the message of 'Helping people make sense of data'.
In my free time, I enjoy various activities from sports to reading books. I also love traveling. I’ve managed to visit quite a few places — 11 countries so far — and I want to keep expanding that list. I’d like to share my sweetest memory: in Istanbul, Turkey, there are so many cats, they’re everywhere. I just couldn’t say goodbye to one particular kitten, and it seemed like he didn’t want to part with me either. Unfortunately, I couldn’t take him with me, but to remember that touching moment, I got a cat tattoo.
