Data Analyst Intern
KIPP Philadelphia Schools consists of 5 schools across grades K through 12 serving around 2000 students in the Philadelphia area. In my role as a Data Analyst Intern, I was responsible for compiling and analyzing student data to generate insights that dealt with student achievement such as testing, homework, and assessments.
Since starting this position at the start of the Spring 2018 semester, I have learned how to manipulate data to tell a story and effectively communicate my findings to others who may not be so tech-savvy. My Management Information System courses taken at Temple University gave me a great foundation for understanding the data analysis tools that are commonly used in the workplace. At this internship I got to see first hand how my work directly affects other departments as well as the stakeholders. Through my projects that were assigned, I greatly improved my skills on Tableau and Microsoft Office applications.
This position gave me a chance to be work alongside a wonderful team while being able to contribute my independent thoughts. I was able solve thought provoking problems that forced me to critically think my way to a solution. It felt amazing to know that we can use these technical tools to give these students the best opportunity possible for them to succeed academically.
