Rahama Sani Abdullahi | WiDS NG Mentee
Hello. I'm so happy. I just won a data science hackathon. It was on sentiment analysis. Thank you very much WIDS. I appreciate your support. I had a 79% F1 score. I didn't expect I would have the highest F1 score on the submission. Thank you WiDS Nigeria and DataCamp

DataCamp License has been a big blessing to me. I have learned a lot, the knowledge has also helped me get into ALX to study Data Science. The courses on SQL from DataCamp made it easy for me to scale through the rigorous learning process of ALX. It has also helped me in my current job, I look at data and I am not scared. Thank you so much for granting me this license.
Our team members are committed to helping you gain competence in Data science.
