Hey Lemon8! I’m Lorita - Nice to meet you!

Hey yall! I’m officially making my first post here, and I wanted to properly introduce myself 💛

✨ Who I Am:

I’m Lorita Shaw – a Sr. Data Engineer, founder of Data Analytics, Simplified, and a proud self-taught techie with over 12 years of real-world experience. My background? Psychology. What am I good at? Make complex data concepts feel simple, supportive, and doable for people just like you.

What I Do:

I help beginners, career changers, and professionals break into analytics through live, small-group courses where you’ll actually get hands-on, real-time help – not just watch videos and hope for the best.

Whether you’re brand new or trying to level up your resume with in-demand skills like SQL, I’ve got you covered – and yes, you absolutely belong here.

🎯 Fun Facts:

✔️ I started learning SQL because my manager told me to “go write your own code” (scared the hell out of me at first – now I teach it).

✔️ I offer courses that come with virtual machines so no downloads needed

✔️ My students get coding challenges, portfolio help, career coaching & resume support

✔️ I’m all about real results, real support, and real confidence – especially for those who don’t come from a traditional tech background.

🌱 Let’s connect if you:

💡 Want to learn analytics without all that extra noise

🎓 Are serious about transitioning into tech

💻 Love live interaction and mentorship

📈 Need a supportive space to grow & ask questions

I’ll be sharing tips, coding insights, career advice, and maybe a behind-the-scenes look into running a startup as a woman in tech. Can’t wait to build here with you 🖤✨

I’m originally from Cameroon 🇨🇲 and it’s interesting how I’ve met more Africans since moving to the US than in Africa. #westafrican #africangirl #mixed🇳🇬🇺🇸 #cameroonian #lemon8creative #fashionlovers
