Analytical Dental Hygienist

I’ve always seen data as more than numbers in rows and columns: it’s a story waiting to be told. But stories can get lost when the data is messy, scattered, or hard to trust.

That’s why I build modular, trustworthy data workflows that make stories clearer, more reliable, and ready to power both analytics and automation. Using SQL, Python, DuckDB, and Git, I design data systems that are reproducible, collaborative, and scalable, so data teams don’t just crunch numbers, they build knowledge that lasts.

My work blends engineering discipline with analytical curiosity. I focus on quality, clarity, and governance, especially in healthcare, where data decisions have real impacts on people’s lives. To me, data systems shouldn’t just aim for performance, they should also be responsible, supporting ethical AI, better patient outcomes, and more human-centric technology.

At the heart of it all, I believe clean, well-structured data is the foundation of every story worth telling, whether that’s a business insight, a machine learning model, or a decision that shapes someone’s future.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃

I’m so grateful for the data community, and some of you I’ve even gotten to call friends 😊

I usually make a list of people I’m thankful for, but this year the list is way too long. I guess that’s a good problem to have!

For everyone (celebrating or not) sending good vibes and gratitude your way today

Senior Healthcare Data Analyst | LinkedIn Learning Instructor | Speaker

I have been thinking about data analytics as a craft: a way of seeing, questioning, and understanding the world behind the data. 

Technical skills are essential, and they come alive when pairing them to context. Read more about it on this weeks newsletter:

It was such a pleasure to be part of this podcast! 😊

OMG—this one feels special.

Since the day I joined LinkedIn, there have been a handful of people in the data space whose content I genuinely admire. 

And recently, I got the chance to record a podcast with one of them: Thais Cooke

I’ve followed her work for a long time, not just because she creates great content, but because she actually helps - no hype, no clichés, just real value posts on data analytics.

In our latest podcast episode, we talked about her journey from healthcare professional to data analyst, the challenges she faced, and how those same challenges can turn into opportunities if you lean into them.

The episode is live now — link is in the comments.

Stay tuned, and hope you enjoy this one as much as I did. 

Thank you so much Thais, for joining and sharing your experience!!
