Making data accessible, actionable, and beautiful

Hi, I’m Steph! I help people make sense of their data, from start to finish.

Judgement-free, jargon-free data strategy

I help mission-driven organizations turn complex, messy datasets into insights that improve decision-making, alignment, and outcomes. With over a decade of experience in statistics and data strategy, I've worked with startups, government and UN agencies, and academic institutions to design and structure first-of-their-kind datasets, build intuitive dashboards, and solve ambiguous problems with creativity and precision.

I hold a masters degree in statistical practice from Carnegie Mellon University, and completed a health innovation research fellowship at UC Berkeley and UCSF. I teach data science courses in Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service and UC Berkeley’s School of Information.

  • Data governance

    Establish a solid foundation for your data-driven decisions. I’ll work with your team to create, implement, and maintain robust systems that ensure that your data are accessible and reliable.

  • Data architecture

    I design, build, and document datasets and databases. From taxonomy development through schema design, I design data systems “from scratch”.

  • Analysis

    Transform raw data into actionable insights. By combining statistical expertise with clear, jargon-free communication, I'll help you understand your data and make informed decisions  that drive your business forward.

Testimonials

  • "Steph doesn’t just run the analysis — she asks the questions that reframe the problem. Whether she’s working with execs, clinicians, or engineers, she brings an unusually empathetic lens that makes even complex statistical concepts approachable and actionable."

    Paul Wicks - Vice President of Neuroscience, Sano Genetics

  • “When we started, the data landscape seemed like a potentially insurmountable hurdle. In just three months, we had a clear architecture and roadmap that the entire organization bought into.”

    Thomas Lockney - Director of Software Engineering, Metron

  • "Steph's ability to track down data, interrogate it, and turn it into something centralized and accessible is incredible. If you have inherited a mess of data to make sense of, organize, or bring into the present, Steph is who you want on your side."

    Kyle Stratis - Founder, Stratis Data Labs

  • "Steph was incredibly effective at bridging the gap between our technical software engineering team, users of business software, and the executive team. She has set the foundation for us to scale our data products in a way that positions us for significant growth."

    Ellie Graeden - Chief Data and Product Officer, Metron

  • "There is literally only one person I’ve ever begged to consult on a project, and now, you can pay that person money for their very good data science services. You should!"
