About Me

Hi, I’m Zahid! I’m a master’s student in Epidemiology and Biomedical Data Science at the University of Oulu, Finland, with a background in Statistics from Khulna University, Bangladesh. I moved to Finland to deepen my skills in public health research and data science, and along the way I’ve learned how to navigate applications, adapt to a new academic system, and transition into a multidisciplinary field. I would love to help prospective students with study‑abroad guidance, program and university selection, crafting motivation letters, and understanding pathways into the field they are interested in.
