As the Quantitative Data Analyst at the Center for Rural Pennsylvania, I'm responsible for providing data and analyses on rural policy issues to state legislative representatives and members of the public who need them to make effective decisions for their communities. As an individual, I am a data-focused researcher dedicated to summarizing and presenting the world's complex problems as simple, easy to understand models. I vow to learn all industry tools and technologies, even if that means I have to teach myself how to use them. I look out at the big picture in all I do and seek out ways to refine my work down to the tiniest detail.
