I have been writing this baby for a more than a year, always pushing it away. But there was interest, and I've finally decided to put myself out there and share my story and experience with others. I am excited for anyone starting their journey in STEM, particularly in the data field, and I would love to be helpful and keep sharing whatever I learn myself.

Elena says:
It gives the overview of the self-taught career in data, the learning paths one can take and also the starter curriculum. It helps understand if this career path one wants to pursue and gives the possible motivations to do it. I also share free resources on my instagram page. The guide though is different as it offers a dense information and a road map to follow.
