Back to All Data and Statistical Analysis, Mathematics Spotlights

You have to measure it to manage it. A concept that my professional life has made me realize, but my education with Saint Mike’s Math Department provided the foundation for. My degree from SMC honed my problem-solving skills and enabled an exciting and diverse career path.

I joined MRM McCann early in 2015 as a Senior Data Strategist and have since been promoted to Director, Data Analytics. However, there is more to my story before this career shift. I started my career with a leading social media agency, Attention, as the head data analyst where I helped build the analytics practice, as well as, designed and executed analytics strategies for clients such as: Hilton Hotels, Michelin, Logitech, Sports Authority, M.A.C. Cosmetics, and Bausch & Lomb. After Attention, I earned a Master’s degree in technology entrepreneurship from the University of Notre Dame with a focus on recommendation engine design for a web-based deals marketplace business model. Following Notre Dame, I helped to found and build a startup, called enFocus, ‘focused’ on community development through technology deployment and business process optimization in the public sector. At enFocus, projects featured data driven business strategies for municipalities and educational institutions, social media focused crowdfunding campaigns, and health care informatics initiatives directed at population health using mobile and social platforms. A bonus: with all of the project experience I garnered to that point, I earned a Project Management Professional (PMP) certification from the Project Management Institute – this is something I would highly recommend as life is full of projects.

When I am not at the office or trying to save the world, you might find me traveling, surfing, or playing ice hockey.
