I am fully equipped in general computer programmes including Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint as well as data analysis programs such as XLSTAT and Rstudio
My involvement in committees and societies from a young age, group assignments and working experience has aided me in working closely with others, as well as effectively and efficiently.
