I am passionate about using the power of analytics to drive economic growth and improve the communities around me. While my educational background is focused in economics and new ventures, my working history has provided opportunities to build on that foundation with more client-focused and collaborative work. This has allowed me to build up complimentary skill sets in both data and client management, while gaining experience in a wide range of economic, financial, and policy analyses. My current areas of focus are community and economic development at all levels, from top-down to bottom-up. Through serving as Interim Curator of the Las Vegas Hub for Global Shapers, I aim to elevate Las Vegas on the global stage by supporting impactful projects to better our community and the equity therein.If you’d like to connect or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me via Linkedin or at sandragracesmith@yahoo.com
