Amanda Council

I am a dynamic college junior with a passion for technology. With each semester, I have been diligently honing skills building a robust foundation in computer information systems that I plan to leverage for my future career. I've mastered bridging technology and business thanks to my prior experience as a business analyst.

As a business analyst, I developed proficiency in analyzing complicated data and turning it into useful insights. Whether diving into data-driven strategies or crafting elegant lines of code, I look forward to innovating and driving progress in the tech world, one algorithm at a time. My journey to graduation is just the beginning of a promising future where I will transform the digital landscape with my expertise and unwavering enthusiasm.

With 15 years of experience in a prominent mortgage company, I dedicated my career to serving as a business analyst specializing in foreclosure and default operations. My primary focus revolved around the realms of data analytics and report creation. I also took charge of crafting and implementing risk-based internal controls, policies, and procedures, ensuring strict compliance with regulatory mandates and other pertinent requirements.

My role extended to monitoring key risk indicators and effectively communicating findings to senior management. Additionally, I took the initiative to develop test scripts aligned with the Software Development Lifecycle Process for execution during User Acceptance Testing (UAT). In a collaborative effort with the IT department, I was instrumental in drafting Business Requirements, subsequently transforming them into essential coding for production enhancements.

I'm a non-traditional student who initially earned my A.A. degree in early education back in 2008. Following significant life events, I made the decision to return to academia and complete my bachelor's degree. Currently, I'm in my junior year and anticipate graduating in June 2025 with a degree in computer information from Austin Peay State University.
