Landon Basham

“Completing an online master’s degree proved to be an exciting challenge, academically, professionally, and personally. Though I appreciated the opportunities to build hard skills of programming, machine learning, and visual story-telling, I succeeded (and will continue to succeed) because of the relationships I developed over these two short years. From the professors to the instructional assistants to my fellow colleagues, support was always close by, and networks were firmly forged.”

EDUCATION ANALYST TO MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT

Transitioning away from high school teaching and schoolwide data support, Landon now works as a business analytics consultant with SVA Consulting. He collaborates closely with clients to understand their data needs and business goals, developing tailored analytics solutions that support informed decision-making. His role involves designing and optimizing queries to extract and analyze data from multiple sources, as well as building and maintaining interactive dashboards and reports to track key performance indicators. Landon identifies trends and operational opportunities through data analysis, resolves technical issues, and communicates actionable insights to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

VISUAL DATA STORY-TELLING

Landon continuously hones his craft within data visualization and story-telling through various online challenges and certificates, personal portfolio projects, and career stakeholder needs. He frequents conferences and webinars to build his network as well as his expertise, and he enjoys mentoring younger learners to become stronger analytical thinkers and clear communicators, skills he views as vital for an evolving educational and economic landscape. His backgrounds within the arts, social sciences, and STEM education blend seamlessly for contributions to the field of learning analytics.
