Matthew Lintemuth graduated with Part-Time Data Analytics Cohort 4.

I'm an HR professional who has been chasing a career in data for years. Graduate from the University of Tennessee (Knoxville) where I was the first in my family to complete a higher education program. I experienced a layoff due to COVID for 2.5 months in 2020. During that time I had a lot of time for self reflection. I realized I didn't miss my work. I spent my time working on SQL in Team Treehouse and watching videos. Prior to COVID I had trained with companies analyst learning how to use BI and write expressions. I would continue to work on those from home. I made the decision during the layoff that it was time to pursue the data field. I enjoy telling the story that data gives us. I continued my education earning a certification in SQL from Nashville State Community College and current student with NSS data analytics bootcamp. Every day I'm paving my way to a successful career and future in data.
