Iā€™m currently leading a data science and operations team, teaching data skills workshops, and writing about data skills in the age of AI. Recently, I've led new analytics initiatives, worked in consulting, nonprofits, and higher ed, and served on the board of Data Reframed, a nonprofit focused on equitable data futures. Outside of work, I love watching (and performing!) comedy, going for a sunrise row, and binge-reading a good book.

 

Always looking for better ways to do the things that matter most.
