Alumni story: Yvonne Ayettey
Overview
A Data Analyst is a professional who interprets data, analyses trends, and uses statistical techniques to help organisations make informed decisions. Data analysts are responsible for cleaning, organising, and analysing large datasets. They use various analytical methods to identify insights and patterns that can guide business strategies and decision-making processes. To present their findings in a clear and actionable manner, data analysts often rely on statistical software, programming languages, and data visualisation techniques.
