"Saniya's dedication to mastering the fundamentals of data analysis before jumping into complex visualization tools is what set her apart. During our 1:1 sessions, she consistently asked probing questions about data integrity and business impact. She didn't just want to make charts; she wanted to understand the story behind the data. That curiosity is the true hallmark of a skilled business analyst, and it's exactly why she excelled in her interviews."
