Patrick Atwater graduated with Full-time Data Analytics Cohort 4.

I have spent most of my professional life in the fields of music and mathematics. In both math and music, the need to be able to think critically and analytically is a necessity. As I have also worked as a teacher in both fields, I have also developed the ability to communicate ideas to others well and to check for understanding. More recently, I became aware of the field of Data Analytics and was interested in the potential of blending analytical skills and communication skills to solve real world problems. In addition, I have a passion for utilizing my skills to help others unlock and leverage the ever growing world of data. In the NSS Data analytics bootcamp, I have developed a good foundation of the skills required to do just that and I am very excited to keep learning and growing in this field.
