Current employment: Director of Analytics, Stanford University School of Engineering
“I came to analytics after earning a PhD in linguistics, where I learned I love working in universities and solving logic puzzles but also that applied problem-solving is a better fit for me than academic research. In my current role, I like being close to the people asking the questions and understanding the context. I can see the impact of solving their puzzles through data – and seeing their subsequent decisions is super-rewarding. I also love leading a small team – one of the things I learned at Carleton is that I love teaching, and this is another fun way of playing that role.”
