After a long two and half years of sweat and tears (fortunately no blood), I finished my Master of Data Science (Professional) degree in December 2020 with a Distinction. This degree is a sixteen subject course in comparison to the twelve subject Master of Data Science degree. It includes Data and Information, a second Master Class subject, and two project subjects where students work as a team on a data science problem for an industry partner.

Working part-time and studying part-time certainly helped hone time management and problem-solving skills.

On March 26, 2021, I was able to graduate in person (in accordance of COVID-19 rules) at the Townsville Entertainment and Convention Centre.
