How I Went from Nonprofit Maven to InterWorks Director of Employee Experience
For twelve years, I was part of something so special, so greater-than-myself, that I assumed I would never, ever want to leave. I was fortunate enough to be on a team of do-gooders running a nonprofit that offered services to child victims of abuse, and every day was a roller coaster of tragedy and triumph. […]
Data Viz: Women Elected to US Congress
In 2016, the U.S. had an historic presidential race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, the first woman to run for U.S. president. While we’re still waiting on a female president in the U.S., the race led me to wonder about women in other areas of political leadership and government. Thanks to congress.gov and the […]
Data Viz: Most Popular Streams on Netflix 2016
This morning, while reading my RSS feeds, there was an interesting map showing Netflix streaming activity by state published by HSI. The visual didn’t make it easy to see the most popular show incidence. In a few minutes, I created this view in Tableau that does:
How Community Development Created Power Tools for Tableau: Server
Tableau purchased Power Tools in 2019. Contact Us for more information.

My Current Writing System
I’m constantly tweaking my writing systems to improve the efficiency and quality of my output for whatever writing task I have.

These are my current tools of […]

Hardware and Clothing Tech I Liked in 2016

Exploring Medicare Part D Data in Tableau

How I Went from Government to InterWorks’ Weird Company Culture
