I wrote this post while listening to this song. Click on play to enjoy the story with this soundtrack!
I remember when I was a child, my parents said that I had to know two things to have a better social life: dancing and swimming. As a 5 year old kid, I always loved going to swimming classes and had a lot of friends. One of them had a brief passage in my childhood, but I will always remember her because she had a very unique name and because of her name I ended up at The Data School.
Back in 2016, I was in a Facebook group looking for an official translator in Brazil as I needed to have some documents translated from Italian to Portuguese. After reading loads of reviews, I found a comment from Juliana Camparotti indicating a translator. She was the only person with a mutual friend (guess who it is - yeah! my friend with the uncommon name), so I decided to send her a message.
It turns out that Juliana and I have been in contact ever since and have become friends. Last winter, I saw some pictures of Juliana and her husband somewhere in southern Europe, so I decided to send her a message to check how things were going on. We talked about life, travel and work, and that's when Juliana told me all about The Data School and how she enjoyed being part of DS 17. I found it's too good to be true, but I decided to apply, and here I am, writing my first post as a Data Schooler.
If you want to know more about working at The Data School, stay tuned because I intend to post everything here (you will see that will sound too good to be true - spoiler: it's all true!). You can also read my colleagues' blog to check out our daily life and loads of Tableau and Alteryx tutorials. And if you got interested and want to apply, you can click here, and if you want to know EVERYTHING about the process application, you can check out my next posts 😉

- The song is from The Butterfly Effect (2004) - Good choice for a Netflix session this weekend.
- Curious about the name of my friend with a unique name? Her name is Kizzy. It may not sound different for you, but for a 5 year old kid from Brazil it's very uncommon.
