“Before The Commons, I knew SQL to a limited extent. However, the Strategy & Operations Sprint provided me with the opportunity to use SQL in a real case study, which allowed me to understand just how beneficial analytics and data are. After learning how to use SQL at The Commons, I took those skills to my current job where I analyze customer data and make decisions on how we should approach it.”
