Teresa's Journey: From Program Management to Data Analytics
Teresa comes from a background in program management at FAANG companies, where continuous learning is highly valued. Recognizing the growing importance of data analysis, Teresa decided to upskill herself and enrolled in Skillspire's "Intro to Data Analytics" bootcamp.
Guided by Experts, Building a Strong Foundation
"The Intro to Data Analytics bootcamp provided a comprehensive introduction to the field," Teresa explains. "The instructors, Gwel, and Jeffhraim were fantastic. They broke down complex topics into manageable pieces and made them directly applicable to real-world scenarios. Their expertise and empathy ensured that everyone grasped the material."
Teresa highlights the supportive learning environment at Skillspire. "The TAs were also incredibly helpful, always available to answer questions and provide additional guidance," she adds.
Building on Success: Mastering Advanced Data Analytics
Energized by her positive experience in the Intro cohort, Teresa decided to take her skills to the next level by enrolling in the Advanced Data Analytics Bootcamp.
"The Advanced cohort allowed me to delve deeper into machine learning, regression analysis, and statistics," Teresa says. "I was able to build upon the foundational Python and SQL skills I gained in the Intro course."
From Doubts to Achievements
Teresa admits to having initial reservations about her ability to learn coding. "Coming from a background of simple HTML and SQL,I wasn't sure if I could handle more complex coding languages," she shares.
However, Teresa's determination and the structured learning approach at Skillspire helped her overcome these challenges. "Thanks to the combination of diligence, practice, and meticulous note-taking, I was able to master both Python and SQL, together in Google Colab," she says proudly. "I like to think of myself as the Hermione Granger of coding –not a natural prodigy, but someone who achieved success through hard work and dedication."

"Unlike some bootcamps that rush through material or online self-paced courses that lack real-time guidance, Skillspire takes a comprehensive approach," she explains. "The curriculum allows students to build their knowledge incrementally, ensuring a deep understanding of the subject matter."
