WORK HISTORY
Research Data Lead @Northwestern University - Kellogg School Of Management
I make data research easy for Kellogg faculty members and PhD students. Every step of getting data in place - from introductions through the contract process and on to storage and compliance - falls to me. I love this work. About 60 new projects come my way a year, so I\'m always up on what questions researchers are working on. It typically starts with simple questions, like \"who has data on this topic?\" or \"this firm offered to collaborate, what\'s next?\" and goes on from there. In addition to the proprietary data sets I work on for individuals and small teams, I also maintain Kellogg\'s collection of ~90 commercial datasets from vendors like Bloomberg, LSEG, and S&P and keep our available data up to date. Beyond user requests, I am always at work on better record keeping and educational materials so that the Kellogg community is able to make the best possible use of our resources.
