About Jared Godar

I am a data scientist, technical communication specialist, Army veteran, and music lover. I\'m committed to helping you tell your story with compelling supporting data. I help businesses sift through the noise to discover what metrics really matter and how to improve them maximizing efficiency and minimizing discomfort. I was a Signals Intelligence Analyst in the Army for six years, ending up as a Sergeant and the Noncommissioned Officer in Charge of Signals Intelligence and Electronic Warfare, where I supervised a team to intercept, decrypt, analyze, and report foreign communications in both strategic and tactical settings. We worked to identify trends, forecast outcomes, and provide predictive analysis to drive operations in fast-paced, challenging environments.I developed, optimized, and wrote standard operating procedures for the team and developed novel, automated data-processing techniques eliminating manual data entry from previously incompatible systems freeing up more time for analysis and increasing data fidelity.After the Army, I pursued graduate studies in Molecular Physiology & Biophysics at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where I independently designed, executed, and performed quantitative statistical analysis of experiments related to human health and disease. I though classes at the undergraduate and graduate levels. I designed novel MRI techniques and conducted human trials in a clinical research setting. I authored and published a manuscript in the peer-reviewed journal Biochemistry, which has been cited over 265 times. As much as I enjoyed \"doing science,\" I discovered I enjoy telling science stories even more. That can mean translating a new idea into a grant to secure funding to do research—28 of the 29 grants I edited were funded for over It can mean sharing your results through peer-reviewed journals—I have edited and provided figures for articles published in The Biophysical Journal, the Journal of Molecular Biology, the Journal of Biological Chemistry, and Science. It can mean devising that perfect graph or figure for a meeting that visually distills complex data in an easy to understand way. Or, it can mean writing articles for a broader audience, communicating technical information to a non-technical reader in a way they still understand.
