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.
