I am a passionate leader with a successful track record in using statistics and data modeling to help organizations uncover insights and tell a story to grow their business. My unique background spanning corporation, start-up, and non-profit settings has shown me the importance of supporting the people, products, and places that make up a community. As a Statistician with roots in International Studies and Development, I firmly believe in harnessing the power of big data to improve the livelihood of all through making more informed, data-driven decisions. While there is more analysis than ever before in the world, something endlessly important to business success, and which remains my focus, is using big data to tell a story and a vision all can grasp. I love designing and building models to solve problems, and I thrive on using my analysis to create a story that all clients (data focused or otherwise) can understand. My other interests include bouldering boldly, learning continuously, designing freely, and traveling openly. Github: https://github.com/samanthaedds
