About ME

Jarrod Wise

You can call me JJ

I was named after my great grandfather who owned his own farm, and his brand was called the swinging J's. I come from a family of church members on both sides. I have lived in Idaho my whole life, just in the northern part (Coeur d'Alene, ID) which happens to have much more mild winters. I served a mission in Las Vegas West so I really got used to the heat and hopefully I will survive through this fall semester. I have four other siblings and they are spread out across four different states, but of course if we ever want to see each other we make them come back to Coeur d'Alene.

Hobbies

Some of my favorite things to do is:

• Play games
• Hangout with my friends/roommates
• Read books and/or watch some quality shows
• I find writing or thinking of short stories to be pretty fun as well

Academics

I'm currently pursuing my degree in Data Science. What I find most interesting about the degree is seeing data and information and being able to put to reason the cause of the trend and predicting the outcome of the data. It also seems to be a promising job with continuing opportunity to learn and challenge myself.

This is my first semester in BYUI and I'm looking forward to getting to learn here and getting to meet other people here. The campus looks really nice and the faculty members have been pretty nice and welcoming here, so its been good so far! I know that sounds like an average yelp review but hey at least its a positive one.
