Q: How long have you been working at the
Connectory?
A: Since
March 2018
Q: What are you currently working on?
A: I am currently
working on part time data analytics classes to make data more approachable for
business people. The goal is to help people do what they do best using data analytics. Additionally, starting next year, I hope to start offering no-cost boot camp classes until you become a hired data scientist. This will open access to elite education
opportunities based on merit rather than ability to pay, and help companies
identify and hire top data science talent and close their data science
gap.
Q: Why do you work at the Connectory? What are
its benefits for you?
A: I work at the Chicago Connectory because it’s a great
community and an excellent space for events and trainings. Additionally, having
access to 1871 gives you best of both worlds.
Q: Do you have a website, social handles,
somewhere we can learn more about you and your company?
A:
· Twitter
· LinkedIn (personal), LinkedIn (business)
· Facebook
· Instagram
· Website
Q: Random/fun questions: If you could learn any
language fluently, what would it be?
A: I
would like to learn Chinese, because I grew up speaking Italian and learned
Spanish in high school. I spent a year in Beijing and started to learn while I
was living there and I want to pick it up again. I think it’s useful for
business and non-business reasons.
