India Swearingen
statician, Analyst, and Budding Data Scientist in Oakland, California
When I look back at my career path, and what led me to where I am now, there was a time where I didnt love numbers. I have always loved people, helping people. But when I was a kid, I didnt understand just how much math, and being really good at it, can help me achieve an even greater impact than I have ever imagined.
I got into data analyzing by way of completing numerous statistics courses for my applied social psychology graduate degree. Although less traditional of a path than most, I wouldnt trade it for the world. Having the lens that I have allows me to see past just numbers, ratios, percentages, etc. I can see people, and can help explain behaviors, trends and outcomes in a real sense.
