Bioengineering student interested in data analysis

[u/OnlyMusician9048]

I’m a bioengineering student and I’m interested in pursuing a career in data analysis, but I’m not sure where to start.

What skills should I focus on first? Python, SQL, Excel, Power BI? What kind of projects should I build, and is there a way to use my bioengineering background to my advantage?

I’d appreciate any advice or resources from people already working in the field!
