Hey!

It's Friday, August 16, 2024 which means another issue of Kelly's Bytes. Every other Friday I share: 1 new blog post from me; and 3 bite-sized resources related to topics like data analytics, switching careers or learning new skills.

Apologizes for not sending out a blog post / newsletter 2 weeks ago. I needed a bit of a break, but now we’re back to our regular schedule.
