Killian Hoyt

My name is Killian Hoyt, and I am a third-year Political Science major with minors in Spanish and Public Policy. This summer, I interned with Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities (OOD) to analyze their casework data from their Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) program. The goal was to assess the demographics and trends of participants who return for VR services, to better understand and forecast the participant population. I used tools such as Tableau, R, and Excel to clean, analyze, and present my findings. The most challenging part of the internship was adapting my in-class knowledge of data analysis to real-world administrative data, which was far more complicated than I expected. This has also been the most rewarding aspect of the internship, as I was able to dive in and start to become an expert in a niche facet of OOD operations. My favorite part of this program was being able to integrate with the Data and Reporting Team at OOD and learn so much from them! I would recommend this internship to anyone interested in doing real-world data analysis and expanding their technical skills.
