Lecturing Social Media Analytics

I remember that year—it was 2009 when I first signed up for Facebook. Then, making random posts, comments, and tags, to having around 10 social profiles, didn't just happen overnight. It was fun to learn and grow with time.

In the last 19 years, I have used 3 feature phones ☎️ and 5 smartphones 📱, and created emails in Yahoo, Hotmail, and Gmail, which was an unexpected shift for me.

Now, I am lecturing on social media analytics, learning a lot about search engines and their algorithms, sharing insights on social media, and also pinpointing the importance of such platforms for small-to-multi-national companies to create brand value and expand their market presence.

Now that AI is embedded in their algorithms, the issue of #data_governance stands at the top of any country’s laws. DATA has become more popular, powerful, and influential for everyone involved in local-to-national-to-regional-to-global platforms.

I am overwhelmed with the scale of its existence and expansion. I feel like I am living in history. With my grandkids, I can share these stories non-stop for hours and hours, and they will listen to us with jaw-dropping amazement 🥳.

It's loud and clear that the new scope of opportunity is being a Social Media Analyst. However, what I enjoy most in the job is taking selfies with my students. They are future social media analysts 🎉.
