The kinds of clients I work with most often: โœ…Have a lot of data, but donโ€™t know how to unlock the insights hidden inside it โœ…Know the specific questions or problems theyโ€™re hoping to solve with their data, but need help on the technical side with data wrangling and modeling โœ…Need to build out a forecast, classification, ranking, or impact model, but arenโ€™t sure where to begin โœ…Are students (DNP, PhD, etc.), researchers, or survey designers who need help with statistical analysis โœ…Need help organizing and visualizing their data in a way that can clearly and effectively communicate key information โœ…Are seeking help to design an analytical methodology, but plan to do the actual analysis in-house Ultimately, regardless of the industry or specific context or circumstance, what my clients want (and what I am able to successfully provide them) are the answers, insights, patterns, and connections that can be illuminated through thoughtful, creative, and intelligent data analysis. The reviews of my work have been extremely positive. . .
