Evan Doran Email & Phone Number

I am a public policy and administration professional currently working as Research Analyst at the Teachers’ Retirement System of New York City (TRSNYC). I work with the Surveys, Research, and Analytics team establishing enterprise analytics to support executive and line level decision making so that we can serve our hundreds of thousands of members better. My work is broad, blending hard data science skills with soft presentation and communication skills, to ensure that my intended audience and stakeholders are getting the most out of my deliverables. My technical work covers both internal bespoke CRM data and external data survey and IT data, which is then unified in data flows, visualizations, and presentations, giving stakeholders a holistic view that otherwise would not have been possible. I am familiar with a wide variety of data analytics and visualization platforms particularly, the Tableau family (Desktop, Server, Prep), Python, and SQL.Before TRSNYC, I worked at the Owens Institute for Behavioral Research at the University of Georgia under Dr. Lydia Aletraris and as a Data Fellow for the Missouri Division of Personnel. As a research associate I was the head data analyst on an RO1 federal grant examining the association between cannabis treatment outcomes and state legalization of cannabis. As a Data Fellow I researched and advised on pressing Missouri public personnel issues, particularly in the aftermath of Covid-19 on the labor market. My taxonomical work on state cannabis laws for the Owens Institute was presented at the 2021 Addiction Health Services Research Conference. My data analysis in Tableau on employee turnover trends in Missouri’s 38,000 Missouri state employees was used to support the 2023 cost-of-living-adjustments.I am deeply passionate about my work in government because I believe that certain problems due to scale or jurisdiction can only be handled on the city, state, or federal level. The government’s ability to solve problems or deliver solutions in those areas then either further engages or alienates our citizens, helping or hindering government efficiency broadly. At TRSNYC, I believe in delivering the most efficient and pleasant experience for our members, teachers who have worked for decades educating NYC's future and are now enjoying the fruits of their labor in retirement. I am a driven, adaptable, and holistic worker, striving for accuracy and timelines and confident in my ability to overcome any challenges.
