Young Pros Spotlight

Dagmawi Fasil

What is your role / current company?
Data Analyst

When did you join the ARF Young Pros?
May 2023

Young Pro Spotlight

If you could give one piece of advice to other Young Pros, what would it be?
Shoot your shot when it comes to applying for roles. Even if you don’t 100% fit a job description, send an application and let the employer decide
if you’re qualified. Don’t cut yourself off from a potential dream job.

What is your biggest professional challenge ?
In 2020, I made a career shift into data analytics, which was challenging because I was not only teaching myself how to code, but I was barely a year out of graduating. I was intimidated about how successful the shift would turn out, but luckily, the hard work paid off and I’m more satisfied in my career than ever before.

What’s an example of a company/ brand that you think is doing a great job?
I’m proud of the work we’re doing here at ESPN. Even as younger audiences shift away from cable, sports is still a big driver for television viewership, and younger audiences view ESPN as the premier brand for sports and sports-related content.

What’s your dream job? (If money was no object, what would you do?)
Singer/Songwriter (Listen to Patience by Mawi on all streaming platforms).
