My

why

Oftentimes it feels like barriers are broken by a few exceptional individuals, but much like everything else, it takes a village -- a group of people who believe that change is necessary and lift us up so we stand on their shoulders. With that, I feel a duty to not only pay homage to those that came before me, but to be a lighthouse for those to follow. Understanding that leadership comes with great scrutiny and therefore takes great courage.

My goal is to make it so the barriers that constrain me will ​not be the same barriers that constrain those who come ​after me. I want to build upon the aspects I enjoy most ​about my work -- leveraging data assets to gain a ​competitive advantage and leading cultural change that ​enables a more strategic approach to data. As a woman in a ​male-dominated field, it is important for me to be a ​champion -- especially for minorities in STEM.
