Data Scientist

Collaborative analyst and designer turned data scientist with extensive experience in adult instruction as a Learning Specialist. My transferrable skills of communication, flexibility, patience, and process improvement are best when creatively solving problems for technical and non-technical audiences. I would like to branch out into social services and social change data science to incorporate ethical practices. How do we remove inherent bias in our algorithms that use biased data to train our models?

Why did you choose to study data?

Data is the future! Data gives us concrete opportunities to take current data and model future opportunities.
