Data Analyst for Student Success
University of West Georgia
cthamre@gmail.com
I work at the University of West Georgia, serving as Data Analyst for Student Success in the university's Strategic Enrollment Management Division.
I previously completed a PhD in Linguistics at the University at Buffalo, where I served as instructor for courses on the history and structure of the English language, as well as research assistant for Key Pluridisciplinary Advances on African Multilingualism – Cameroon (KPAAM-CAM). My academic interests center on the use of quantitative and corpus methods to explore variation in language and human culture.
With a degree in Geographic Information Systems, I have experience engaging in data analysis and data management in utilities, transportation, and recreation.
