I’m Kedeisha Bryan, founder of Data in Motion. I help career changers launch $100k analytics careers without going back to school.

How? By teaching the exact skills employers want: SQL, Excel, Power BI, Tableau, Python, PowerPoint, storytelling and real-world pro-jects that prove your value.

By coaching you through interviews, negotiations, and personal branding.

By giving you the confidence and tools to compete with anyone in the market.

Developer Advocate & Founder @ ML Data | Data Science & AI Content Creator

I didn't write my first line of code until I was 26. Now I get sponsored by companies like Anthropic, Amazon and IBM to create coding videos as a tech content creator.

My career path has been anything but linear - finance analyst to consultant to data scientist to full-time content creator. At each stop, I felt like I was starting over, but those diverse experiences became my superpower. My finance background taught me business fundamentals, consulting showed me how to solve complex problems, and data science gave me technical skills. 

When I combined all three and took the leap into content creation and developer advocacy, companies started paying attention.

Now I help others navigate their own career transitions by sharing what I've learned across industries and roles.

When I'm not creating content, you'll find me exploring running, playing pickleball or cuddling with my fur babies, Belle and Lola.

I'm always excited to connect with fellow career changers or anyone building something interesting. Feel free to reach out at megan@thedriveagency.co or send me a message here on LinkedIn 👋
