About Zhada E.

Hola, I’m Zhada, an Air Force Veteran, a Data Science student, and a Registered Nurse whom friends call \"The Investigator\".I served for six years as a medic in the Florida Air National Guard, where I supported humanitarian missions and assisted in guiding deployment decisions within the logistics department. That time taught me resiliency, adaptability, and a deep appreciation for Microsoft Excel.Since the Active Duty portion of my Guard experience, I’ve worked as both a Licensed Practical Nurse and Registered Nurse across diverse specialties. Those years gave me a front-row seat to the real-world challenges people face and a desire to address them on a broader scale. These areas included outpatient, urgent care, public health, Emergency Department, Intensive Care, Behavioral Health, and Progressive Care.Now, I’m pivoting from Clinical work to Data Analytics while incorporating experience in critical thinking, storytelling, and systems-based problem-solving. I’m currently gaining proficiency in Python, SQL, and Power BI while pursuing a Master’s in Data Science at Eastern University, with an expected graduation in 2026.What draws me to data? It’s the common thread in everything I’ve done: from anticipating patient needs to using data to justify community programs or research projects. I aim to continue using data analytics to drive meaningful impact in businesses that value innovation, equity, and work-life balance.Core Areas of Focus: • Data Visualization • Creative Marketing & Communication • Community Impact & Research • Personal Growth & CoachingFun facts: I’ve traveled to over 20 countries - Lived in a few I’m a passionate salsa dancer🥊 I used to compete in Muay Thai overseas My proudest contribution? Creating the LPN-to-RN guide for Air Force medics, which is now used by many transitioning service members.Ready to connect? Let\'s have coffee (or chai tea)!🧋
