Background

I am working as a Business Analyst with VITS. While doing research in Ecology, I also developed skills that usually a Business Analyst has- communication, critical thinking, negotiation, data visualization, strategic thinking and so on. This helped me to excel as a BA. Other than work I enjoy long walks, listen music and prefer to spend time with family.
