  • Pam Butler - Data Analytics
    Pam Butler graduated with Full-time Data Analytics Cohort 1.
    I've got a degree in business/finance, I've owned my own small retail business, and I've worked in several fields from healthcare to State Fair. Data is everywhere these days and growing exponentially, and it's exciting to learn to work with tools that make that data accessible. Nashville Software School has provided me with an understanding of how powerful tools like SQL, Python, Excel, Tableau, and Power BI are used to not only examine the data, but make the numbers come to life through visualization.

  • Benjamin Shuler - Data Analytics
    Benjamin Shuler graduated with Full-time Data Analytics Cohort 1.
    I decided to become a data analyst because my experience in SAAS sales taught me the value of data and software tools. Working with c-suite decision makers, it was important for me to completely understand their challenges and how to help them. Most often, they needed someone to go into the weeds and do the dirty work. They needed someone to find the answers that would help them make key decisions or manage a set of risks. Now I want to be the guy that finds the solution, not just the guy talking about the solution.

  • Adam Tsuchiyama - Data Analytics
    Adam Tsuchiyama graduated with Part-time Data Analytics Cohort 2.
    Whether it's determining how to incorporate the current inventory into a menu, or planning a menu based off student feedback, I've always enjoyed using critical thinking and analysis to solve problems. Through my experience at Nashville Software School, I've learned how to apply those same critical thinking skills to data analytics.

  • Teresa Whitesell - Data Analytics
    Teresa Whitesell graduated with Full-time Data Analytics Cohort 1.
    Children are naturally curious, and I never grew out of it. I can't remember a time when I didn't wonder "why?" and instinctively use data to figure it out. I enjoy getting into a good dataset and pulling out insights that can be used to improve the world, or just for the joy of gaining new knowledge.
