Hi, I’m Zachary A. Jackson, PhD 👋
(I go by Zach!)
Welcome to my data analytics project portfolio!
I am a former professor turned data analyst! I made a decisive shift into the world of data analytics in 2021, driven by my desire to utilize my quantitative and statistical experience and training to help inform decisions that directly influence individuals and consumers. Since transitioning, I have been consistently practicing and further developing my data analyst skillsets. I am particularly interested in working within the education, health, healthcare, or marketing industries.
On my road to landing my first FTE role as a data professional, developed a morning routine that I aim to follow every weekday. Before I dive into practicing my SQL skills, I take care of over 30 houseplants while listening to music.
I do not have a video of me jamming while taking care of my plants, but below is a picture of a few of my plants under s grow light while I take a refresher course on Linear Algebra.
