I’ve been putting in steady work to build my data analytics skills. I’m proud of my Medical Insurance Analysis using MySQL and Power BI, where I cleaned and analyzed data and built DAX dashboards for real insights. I’ve also completed a Python data analysis project focused on cleaning, transforming, and exploring data to uncover meaningful patterns. Across these projects, I’ve strengthened my skills while learning to think critically like an analyst, troubleshoot issues, and grow consistently.

Just finished 'Data Science for Business' by Foster Provost & Tom Fawcett. What stood out most is its business-first approach to analytics, based on an NYU MBA course and real-world decision scenarios. A key insight: the biggest risk in analytics isn’t using the wrong model, but solving the wrong business problem. The book reinforces starting with decision clarity and translating insights into actions leaders trust. A great read for anyone building a business analytics mindset.

Since that time I've earned several different certificates and certifications in Business and am now a Certified Continuous Improvement Management Professional. How do I get my knowledge appraised in order to properly price my new MVP offerings seeing that my knowledge/ teaching is "backed " differently now?
