Elumelu Sabina

Pharmacist (Hospital & Community Pharmacy) → Risk Management Advisor at Government of Alberta

Sabina is a pharmacist who relocated to Canada in July 2022. After encountering the regulatory requirements for practicing pharmacy in Canada, including substantial examination commitments, she decided to explore a career path that aligned with her analytical strengths. In December 2022, she enrolled in the Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate on Coursera and spent the next five months building proficiency in Excel, SQL, Power BI, Python, and R. Her pharmacy background in analyzing patient data and ensuring medication safety gave her a strong foundation for the transition into data analytics. She also pursued a 2-year diploma in Machine Learning Analytics from Norquest College as well as multiple certifications in Data Analytics. She most recently pivoted into a risk management advisory role, helping to use qualitative and quantitative data to anticipate risks and offer solutions to risk mitigation. Her goal is to become an Analytics Manager in the pharmaceutical technology industry, combining her clinical knowledge with her data skills.
