About

Over my 12+ years in the data & analytics field, I've become a passionate promoter of the potential this field has to positively transform organizations and the careers of individuals. In addition to my work as a practitioner in the field, I've frequently collaborated with others to help find ways to promote this potential, including the following: I co-created and co-host the Data Careers Summit. The mission of this event is to help individuals learn how to break into and move up in the analytics field. I created and co-host the Data Ideas Podcast to shine light on great work being done in the field, and the individuals that do it. I frequently speak at industry events, on podcasts, during live courses, etc. If you'd like to get in touch, please send me a PM!
