A little about your background

I am a hospital pharmacist, practicing for over 18 years, with a background in clinical pharmacy, public health, supply chain, research and retail sales. I am open to new challenges, hence I look for every opportunity to take on new projects and make improvements around my workspace; especially in the area of improving work process with the
use of technology. Although I have acquired some computer skills on my own over the years , I knew I needed more professional touch to improve and strengthen them. In addition, I needed to achieve this by leveraging on an interactive training program. One blessed day, I came across Heels and tech on Instagram. I liked their vision and I decided to make enquiries, the next day, H and T was being promoted on You tube by a reliable channel and that was what strengthened my resolve to sign up for the BA course, even without having the funds at that time.

Your experience during the 6 weeks training..about the tools and project

The six weeks training I had, went by like a flash. I hardly realized that 6 weeks had passed because the training was beyond hands-on. We had a project to deliver in such a short timeframe and this completely transformed me into a Business Analyst by the end of the 2nd week! The tools were awesome and I wish I knew about them earlier, as my previous projects would have been much easier. I got to learn how to use MS office, Jira, Canva and lucid chart. I really liked creating the process flows and prototypes! At the end of the course, the “job strategies” sessions were super
amazing! I didn’t realize that my professional background was much more than I thought it was!

About your trainer

I would still be making an understatement if I made any comment about Petrina. She is so soft spoken, yet highly professional and firm! She demanded a positive mindset and an input of 110% from us, and she never settled for less! Very energetic and available to all, even on a personal level. Henceforth, she’s my role model and gold standard for an instructor.

Finally about the renewed mindset
