How I Went from College Track Runner to Wedding Photographer to Marketing Generalist
I never say no. I get bored easily. I’m an adrenaline junkie. My closet is a mess. And I’ve only finished about four books in my entire life. When I was young, I wanted to do whatever sounded exciting that day. I imagined becoming everything from a surgeon to a news anchor when I got […]

Analytics Explained: Describing Our World
Descriptive analytics is all about answering simple questions like: How much did we sell last week? Which customers bought the most from us? How much inventory do we have left?

How I Went from Army Brat to Digital Nomad
I get bored easily. I always have. I’ve had plenty of different jobs, mostly because I became bored with them so fast. My father served in the military, and this meant we moved every few years.

Tornados in the US: 1950-2018 Data Viz
Like many non-native Oklahomans, one of my greatest fears upon moving to the Sooner State was the threat of tornados. After almost five years, that fear has mostly subsided for a number of reasons: the storm shelter in my garage, the weather app on my phone, my growing familiarity with Oklahoma weather and the relatively […]
What’s Next for VMware: A Partner Spotlight
Traditional storage, considering the foundation of virtual systems, has been extremely successful but has shifted towards a very commoditized solution and isn’t innovative anymore.

Celebrating Black History Month Through Cinema

Walking out of the film, I certainly felt sadness, but the overwhelming […]
