As the data science specialist for people analytics (PART), I leverage data science and research methodology to uncover trends across our most important asset -- our people.

I ran my own consulting practice, specializing in data science, quantitative research, statistical analysis and education. Example projects and clients include:*Mentoring for the Foundations of Data Science course, Springboard.*Designing and creating content for digital college-level statistics courses. This included both the writing of the textbook materials and the writing and coding of homework problems, with coded variations and automatic feedback and explanations.* Running simulations and coding optimizations in R for MyProductAdvisor.com powered by Market Insight Corporation. My efforts addressed specific questions from an automotive client concerning how a vehicle’s market share would change given different product and market configurations. * Analyzed data for Stanford Prevention Research Center to investigate the influence of in-store tobacco advertising on smoking prevalence among students. *Designed surveys and analyzed results for pharmaceutical companies seeking ways segment their markets to best address the differential needs of customers.
