I’m a data scientist helping progressive organizations make smarter decisions with data. Before starting my freelance career, I led and worked on analytics teams at some of the largest national progressive advocacy organizations, including Indivisible, MoveOn, and the Voter Participation Center.​

​

My path to data science started with organizing. I volunteered on the first Obama campaign, and later got a job as a lead organizer. I discovered that by closely analyzing canvassing metrics, I could identify which canvassers needed more support. The connection between creative data analysis and real-world outcomes set me on a path to working in progressive analytics. Eventually, I went to grad school to study survey methodology and data science at the University of Michigan, and I’ve been applying those skills to progressive causes ever since.

​

These days, I use cutting-edge statistical methods to solve complex problems in organizing and advocacy. I live in Colorado (Check out that mountain behind me! And that flannel!) where I take an active role in small-town, rural politics while working on the biggest national issues. Outside of work, find me biking, skiing, or at the sewing machine making clothing that sort of fits.
