2020 - 2021
Throughout this six-month course, I learned different languages and tools, including Python, Python libraries ranging from Pandas to SciKit-Learn, SQL, MongoDB, Tableau, Plotly, JavaScript, HTML, and AWS. I created projects of increasing complexity which culminated in a capstone project involving a database, machine learning model, and a Tableau dashboard. The project centered around the evergrowing Austin housing market.
St. Edward's University
2012 - 2016
I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Criminology from St. Edward’s University. Along the way, I studied abroad in Chile for a summer semester. During this semester, I wrote a forty-page research capstone paper on a specific topic. I gathered viewpoints from both sides in both America and in Chile. In addition to this course, I took multiple research and statistical courses, thus laying a strong base for data analytics.
