More About Me

Hi there! I’m Sarah. I’ve been told on more than one occasion that I am an analytical person. I guess that explains my curious nature, my love of problem-solving, and my need to ask questions to weigh all my options before making a decision. While you can count on me as a member of Team Analytical, I am also a creative soul. I like building and creating things too. You might catch me working on a home DIY project, conjuring up a crafty gift for a friend, or better yet, creating something fun and educational to help myself and others learn more about the world of data as I navigate the ins and outs of networking on LinkedIn.

As a Mammographer with a specialty in Quality Assurance, I know the importance of using data to extract insights that help make informed decisions. As I work towards transitioning to a more technical role as a Data Analyst, I have gained valuable experience through projects. My Data Science Certification and other courses, as well as, my personal projects have given me a solid foundation in Excel, SQL, and Tableau. I even have knowledge of Python and R. One of the things about the field of Data Science and Analytics that immediately drew me in has been the breadth of subjects that compile it all. I love learning and teaching myself new things and with data, I will never run out of subject matter or challenges to dive into.

I’ve worked in clinical healthcare for over 15 years now and my experiences with patients and coworkers have helped me develop strong problem-solving, leadership, and communication skills. I know how to communicate complex ideas effectively so that they are understood by multiple audiences. I have served as a Multi-Modality Technologist, Team Lead, and I have trained and mentored many fellow technologists. My various roles in healthcare help demonstrate that I also possess the soft skills necessary of a data analyst. Working in healthcare requires you to be flexible, adabtable, a team-player, and excellent at prioritization.

My goal is to take my new technical skills in data and my transferable skills from healthcare and apply them to a data analyst role within a healthcare company.

When I am not working on data projects, I love hanging out with my family, cuddling my animals, binging a new TV series or watching movies, plant-based cooking, and discovering new books and music.
