Resources I Actually Use


This is my personal stash of tools, courses, and learning spots—the ones that have actually helped me stay curious, grounded, and growing on the journey to becoming a data analyst.

Some are technical, some are mindset-based, and some are just cool corners of the internet I keep coming back to. I’ll keep adding more as I go.
