How Did I Get There?

Project Management is somehow related to my course since my course is related to business. 

Actually, the course is not totally free but you may apply for financial aid in Coursera. In my case, I am one of the chosen scholars of the Department of Information and Communication Technology which was offered in 2022 that gave me one-year access to four courses namely, Data Analytics, Project Management, UX Designer, and IT Support.
