About Jessica Palacios

Hi! My name is Jessica and I am a recent graduate of Georgia State University (GSU), J. Mack College of Business MBA program with a concentration in Business Analysis. My love for data analytics began after listening to NPR discuss how GSU was using big data to increase graduation rates. When I mentioned this to my coworker, she suggested I look into analytics. The following semester, I decided to take a statistics course at GSU. Since then, I’ve been looking for ways to increase my analytics skills.I’ve taken classes in data mining, business modeling, digital innovation, and analytics experience where I’ve developed skills in excel, SAS, R, and Tableau. Then I have participated in Correlation One’s Data Science for All Python bootcamp.I love data and hope to dedicate my career to increasing my data literacy.
