Summary

I am a data professional with a background in chemical engineering.  I have worked with product managers, departments, and companies to use and analyze their data. I use data modeling, data analysis, and visualization to support products, programs, and departments in understanding progress and identifying measures of success.  I am passionate about using my skills to help my coworkers with their work and teaching others what I can about data modeling, reporting, and data visualization.
