About Anna Berman

I love bringing data to life through engaging stories. I pride myself, not only on my technical skills, but on my ability to communicate complex ideas simply and concisely. Technical results are fun, but are meaningless if they can\'t be communicated to non-technical teams. It\'s my job to find meaning in your data and to make sure that meaning is clearly understood.Who am I? I\'m a socially-minded data scientist with a fascination for human behavior and decision-making. I\'ve walked a winding career path starting in cognitive science research, moving to nonprofit evaluation, to technology data consulting, to a Masters in Data Science, to my current role at Civis Analytics. I love where I\'ve found myself; at the intersection of psychology, statistics, and social good.
