Who am I?

I love working with opinion data My passion is data science, but when I'm not running a survey or designing a dashboard I'm reading Science Fiction or traveling with my family.

My area of focus is applying data science methods to survey research. I create value for campaigns and organizations by understanding how groups feel and think and delivering change with my solutions. I enjoy collaborative efforts and iterating to see real improvements.
