About Ryan Cherry

Received an M.S. in Data Analytics at Georgia Institute of Technology, with a concentration in Computational Data Analytics as well as a B.S. in Textile Technology, Summa Cum Laude, from the Wilson College of Textiles at N.C. State University.Data analytics piqued my interest at N.C. State when I worked with data manipulation techniques in Microsoft Excel. I took advanced courses in statistics and learned coding in Python and R before I began my graduate studies. I had three internships that combined my interest in data analytics and business decisions and recently took a full time data analyst/programmer position at the N.C. Education Lottery.
