Meet Sebastian Avila

Hi everyone, you can refer to me as Sebastian or some people call me Seabass. My major is Business Analytics. This year as a senior at UTSA and committed to graduating next year with the hope of securing my career in the finance industry.

Academic Background

Currently, on attaining my bachelor’s degree in Business Analytics and in the next few years get my Master’s at the University of Texas.

Professional Background

Unfortunately, do not have any experience related to my major but working on it throughout this year to land an internship position next year. Do have experience in the service industry while working at Jimmy Johns was short and been active with Door Dash for a couple of years.

My position at JJ was cashier/delivery driver which consisted of daily interaction with customers but performed other objectives to continue workflow.

Jimmy John’s

• Communicated with customers to establish strong relations and maximize store profits.

• Operated cash register to perform proper transactions.

• Worked on assembly line and properly complete orders for customers.

• Maintained store lobby by cleaning floors, tables, and chairs during slow business hours.

As for Door Dash, it is a different experience because throughout one day my involvement is collecting orders from restaurants and delivering them to the customer’s doorstep. Which is simple but convenient.

Experience with R and Data Mining

Last year in the fall semester one of my classes was Data Management for Business Analytics (MS 3083) and was introduced to R code. Understood the basics but still not proficient with R code to create large codes by myself. So, taking Data Mining for Business Analytics (MS 4373) this year would ensure the concepts, functions, and scenarios will prepare for future endeavors.

Experience with other analytic software
