Data Analyst | I turn raw and messy data into insights that support business decisions
I am currently building real-world data projects & open to opportunities.

What if the thing you’re calling lack of consistency is actually lack of interest?

Sometimes we keep asking, How do I become more disciplined?

When the better question might be:

Do I actually want this, or do I just think I’m supposed to want it?

Food for thought 😊

There are some opportunities I would have been genuinely excited about a year ago that I’d probably say no to today.

Not because they became bad opportunities
I just changed
What I want changed.
What I value changed.
What I’m willing to compromise on changed.

That’s growth 😁

The more I work with data, the more I notice how much my Physiology background still influences how I think.

Different tools. Similar curiosity:

What changed?
Why?
What’s influencing it?

I’m interested in where health, physiology and data meet.

A question I wish interviewers asked more

What kind of problems do you enjoy solving?

Skills matter, but curiosity matters too

For me, it’s taking messy information, asking questions, finding patterns and turning it into something useful

What kind of problem make you curious?

[Sunday Ruth | Data Analyst | Excel | SQL | PowerBi @SundayR17530]

Saturday question:

What’s one thing you have recently realized you’re getting better at?

Not perfect at…
Just better…

[Sunday Ruth | Data Analyst | Excel | SQL | PowerBi @SundayR17530]

Sometimes I wonder if people actually know what they’re doing…

Or if some people are just really confident about their guesses. 😂

It’s September 3rd and I’m just saying

Happy New Month. 😂
I almost didn’t post because I felt like I was already late.
But why do we act like missing the right starting date means we’ve missed our chance?
A new month doesn’t become less new because you didn’t start on the 1st

One thing nobody tells you about building your career online:

The moment you start consistently sharing what you’re learning, people may start assuming you’re an expert.

Meanwhile, you’re somewhere watching a YouTube tutorial like:

“Wait… what did they just do?” 😂

[Sunday Ruth | Data Analyst | Excel | SQL | PowerBi @SundayR17530]

We’ve started optimizing everything
Every hobby → side hustle
Every interest → career
Every experience → course
Every fre moment → productivity
Sometimes the packaging get more attention than the actual value
Not everything need to be optimized, monetized or turned to product

[Sunday Ruth | Data Analyst | Excel | SQL | PowerBi @SundayR17530]

Silent week, busy week.

I went quiet for a few days because I needed to focus on some things offline.

Sometimes you need less posting, less scrolling and more doing.

Not every productive week needs to be documented.

Anyway, I’m back. 😂

What kept you busy this week?

[Sunday Ruth | Data Analyst | Excel | SQL | PowerBi @SundayR17530]

Would you rather have:

A. Someone who knows almost all the answers

or

B. Someone who consistently asks the right questions?

I’m choosing B.

The right question can completely change the problem you’re solving.

What’s your pick?

[Sunday Ruth | Data Analyst | Excel | SQL | PowerBi @SundayR17530]

The data speaks for itself.

I disagree.

Data provides evidence.

People provide context.

And context is what turns numbers into decisions.

What’s your take?

A metric can be correct and still be misleading.

Customer Satisfaction: 92%.

Sounds great.

Until someone asks:

Is it higher than last month?

Context is what turns numbers into decisions.

If you could recommend ONE Excel feature to every beginner, what would it be?

Mine: Pivot Tables.

It completely changed how I explored data.

Your turn👇

One of the best pieces of advice I have received as a beginner:

Don’t be afraid to say, I don’t know
Pretending to know everything doesn’t make you look smarter.

Being curious does.
Ask the question.
Learn the lesson.
Grow from it.

Hello, August. ❤️❤️

I’m entering this month with curiosity more than expectations.

Here’s to good people, meaningful opportunities, and pleasant surprises.🥂🥂

Happy New Month.

[Sunday Ruth | Data Analyst | Excel | SQL | PowerBi @SundayR17530]

At the start of July, I thought becoming a better data analyst meant building more projects & learning more tool

By the end of the month, I realised growth also comes from community, conversation, networking, & stepping outside your comfort zone

Heres to more of that in August

[Sunday Ruth | Data Analyst | Excel | SQL | PowerBi @SundayR17530]

A data analyst says:
The average unit price is ₦200,504

The manager asks:
Is that good or bad?

The company sells laptops, phones and accessories.
Can one average answer that?

Or do you need more context before drawing a conclusion?

What’s your next question?
