Used Python to design and implement market intelligence-gathering solutions, making extensive use of natural language processing techniques. Utilized nearly one million tweets to develop analyses that helped guide enterprise-level decision-making related to delivering assessments in response to Covid-induced school closures in 2020. 

Leveraged SQL, Python, and Tableau to wrangle terabytes of data stored in a distributed file system to model and visualize previously inaccessible insights that drive the adoption of equity-focused public policies in all 50 states plus D.C. 

Led the design and creation of self-serve Tableau dashboards to allow 150+ colleagues to track trends in the college-credit-in-high-school and college-entrance-exam markets to improve students’ high school and postsecondary outcomes. 

Managed the Global Policy and External Relations division’s day-to-day data privacy portfolio, which included identifying risks and gaps posed by more than 100 proposed bills and regulations annually; developing and implementing critical mitigation efforts; and supporting assurance and compliance efforts in close partnership with the Vice President of Policy, the Chief Privacy Officer, and Deputy General Counsel. 

Collaborated with more than 150 field staff to closely track, document, analyze, and report on changes in state and federal education policies, including those related to assessment, accountability, privacy, and equity. 

Supervised four-to-six young professionals in Washington, DC, annually — as well as recruiting, hiring, and co-managing the Policy Team’s fellowship program.
