BSc in Mathematics

2016 - 2020

Copperbelt University

My BSc in Mathematics from the Copperbelt University introduced me to the world of numbers, logical reasoning, and abstract thinking. Mathematics taught me how to see patterns, break down complex problems, and think in a structured way. These skills have become the foundation for my growth in data science, helping me better understand topics like statistics, algorithms, and data analysis — as I continue to build my expertise.
