  • Bhuvanesh Karani

    Major:  Management Information Systems - Data Science and minors in Information Assurance and Marketing

    Favorite thing about analytics:  Creativity, the options are endless. I consider myself right brained so when you can combine technical skills and artistic qualities, I’m there. Analytics is also very satisfying since everything can be condensed into an easy understanding and anyone can analyze it.

    Most irrational fear: Not washing my hands three times every time I need to wash them.

  • Danielle Nester

    Major: Management Information Systems and Marketing

    Favorite thing about analytics: Being informed. Analytics summarizes my approach to planning, preparation, and decision-making in my daily life: take in all the data I have and see what is optimal for the situation. 

    Most irrational fear: My ceiling fan falling on me while I am sleeping

  • Cameron Payne

    Major: Management information systems

  • Cade Pope

    Major: Management Information Systems - Data Science

    Favorite thing about analytics: I enjoy seeing how valuable data can be in daily decision-making. I like the ability that analytics can tell a story for all to understand, no matter our level of comprehension of any given topic.  

    Most irrational fear: There are a few animals that I do not like, but snakes are at the top of my list.
