''Allow me to re-Introduce myself, my name is Meg Otanwa and I am a Data Scientist. 
Growing up, I was quite nerdy, though my nerdiness was concealed beneath my cute chubby cheeks. I generally excelled academically—when I was good at something, I was really good at it.
My teachers often said I had a natural aptitude for the arts, particularly subjects like literature and languages. So, I ran with that. Over time, I gradually moved away from science subjects, which led me to believe I had to abandon my dream of pursuing a career in “Information Technologies”—or so I thought.
As an adult on a journey of self-discovery, I realized that I have a deeply curious mind. I love learning, making discoveries, and solving problems. My simple pleasures lie in acquiring new skills that spark my interest. That’s when my love for tech resurfaced. I found myself drawn to AI, the concept of it, and the data that powers it. Motivated by this passion, I enrolled at NVIT in Frisco, Dallas and boy, did they do a fantastic job training me!

My trainer often said, “Whoever steered you toward the arts did you a huge disservice because you’re clearly a scientist.” I’d laugh it off, not fully agreeing. But now, I see his point. Why can’t I be both a scientist and an artist? I believe I can.
My background in languages, for instance, helped me pick up coding quite quickly. Writing code felt like speaking a language designed for systems to understand. My brain interpreted every line of code I wrote as a sentence, much like how it visualizes scenes from every story I read. Debugging can be a pain, but the joy I derive from working with linear regression and creating data visualizations makes it all worthwhile.
Here’s to embracing new challenges and smashing them! 🥂
Never let anyone stop you from achieving your goals.
That’s right—you can call me Meg, the Data Scientist Actor. I plan to keep doing both.
Happy Holidays!''
