"Prior to this, I underwent a Master’s degree in Numerical Analysis and Financial Mathematics at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria—an experience that laid the foundation for my transition into data science and my growing interest in quantitative finance.

"For my thesis, I developed a model-averaging framework for volatility forecasting, combining econometric models and machine learning techniques to improve prediction stability across different market conditions. The results showed that combining models outperformed individual approaches, providing more robust forecasts, particularly during periods of financial stress.

"Throughout this journey, I strengthened my skills in data analysis, statistical modeling, and machine learning, with a focus on real-world financial applications.

"I am deeply grateful to my professors, colleagues, and everyone who contributed to my academic and personal growth during this period. This experience has been both challenging and inspiring, and I’m thankful for the opportunity to learn, grow, and build meaningful connections.

"I am now more motivated than ever to continue growing and contributing to the field of data science and quantitative finance through impactful, data-driven solutions. I am open to opportunities including internships, entry-level roles, collaborations, workshops, and conferences."
