About
I love data!
And I love the stories they tell!
I have been creating reports and dashboards in Information Security over the past 3 years, developing reporting program from scratch for Vulnerability Management and then for the larger Info Sec Operations program. I also bring a PhD in Quantitative Psychology and expertise in research, measuring and modeling human behavior, and management of missing data. My educational and work background have given me an ability to pull disparate datasets together and find the connections that inform questions and tell larger stories. I am a researcher and collaborator, with a compelling drive to understand data and solve problems.
