Our special guest, Chinelo Oyekwe, is a data scientist and has been in the field for over 5 years. She has two degrees in Computer Science. Her love for numbers and technology made the choice to pivot into data science an easy one to make. Chinelo strongly believes that technology and data are the new gold, so she dedicates her time teaching her growing online community about tools and resources to help them successfully switch into tech and grow their new tech careers. Tune in as Chinelo shares her journey into Data Science, tips on how to transition into the field, and the biggest ethical challenges facing the data science community.
