Professional Experience
I have more than a decade of professional experience as a data analyst and applied statistician. I have worked with UN organizations on global and country-level projection models focused on the Sustainable Development Goals, with US government contracts managing national longitudinal datasets for the Department of Education and USAID, with NGOs harmonizing state and national education data, and with school districts in Texas and Louisiana focused on student and school-level performance data.
