James Malloy
I am currently a graduate student studying Research, Measurement, & Statistics at Georgia State University. My interests lie in using data to strategically improve outcomes for people and the various organizations, institutions, and programs of which they form. I’m looking to join a data-driven organization where I can contribute my skills in research and data analysis to make a lasting impact.
