I am getting ready to start grad school! I will be working towards my Masters in Data Science at Middle Tennessee State University located in Murfreesboro, TN.

##### How did you choose Data Science as your major?

Fun fact: I started college as a computer science major! I realized the spring of my freshman year that computer was not for me while struggling through an exam for my Programming I class. I felt like computer science limited my ability to pursue all of my passions and be creative. I heard a voice whisper inside of me begging me to consider switching to data science.

After doing research and checking out what Belmont had to offer with the field, I knew I had to switch my major. Making the switch to data science is one of the top 5 best decisions I’ve made because I have more resources and skills to pursue my passions in ways I never thought were possible.

##### Why did you choose to study data science at Belmont, and how has it set you up for your graduate studies at MTSU?

This is one of my favorite questions in the world. I chose to study data science at Belmont because of how personalized the program can be. During my undergrad, I focused on the intersectionality of tech, education policy, and digital media, and I was able to successfully incorporate all of those areas in my course of study. The program is always finding ways to collaborate with other departments at the university and the community, so there are ample opportunities to apply the skills you learn inside the classroom.
