Matthew Hoyle is a junior double-majoring in statistics and astronomy. Having heard about ATLAS through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences' newsletter, he decided to apply to the organization's internship program. This semester, Matthew is acting as a Data Analyst for the Student Money Management Center (SMMC). Working with the organization's Twitter and Instagram accounts, he regularly exports, cleans, analyzes and creates visualizations based on data from the aforementioned sources, all of which inform his weekly, team-based presentations. Currently, Matthew is compiling documentation for the process of interacting with Instagram data, which he will pass on to the intern(s) that will occupy his position in the future. After completing his undergraduate studies, Matthew will return to the University of Illinois to complete his MS in Statistics, with the ultimate goal of working as a Data Analyst in the private sector. Throughout his internship, he has learned the challenges of handling and cleaning data, the process of creating data visualizations, and how to better his office communication and collaboration skills. Finally, Matthew's favorite video game (at the moment) is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
