About

With a 15-year track record in data science across industry and academia, my expertise spans Python, R, SQL, and MATLAB, tailored for tasks like automation, data modeling, and extraction in environments including AWS. My academic credentials include a PhD in Complex Systems and Brain Sciences and a Master's in Psychology, enriching my approach to data science with depth and breadth.

My experience isn’t just technical; it's also about teaching and mentorship. Having taught at the college level for three years and led teams in professional settings, I understand the value of clear, practical guidance. I’m here to share insights from my journey, aiming to help you navigate the complexities of data science with confidence.

Whether you're starting out or looking to deepen your expertise, my goal is to provide the support you need to excel in this dynamic field.

I had recently made the transition from academia to industry and was feeling rather lost as I'm working for a startup with no other data scientists to help guide me. I was primarily looking for guidance as to what's expected of a data scientist and understanding how to construct projects and manage stakeholders. Tracy was the ideal mentor because of her background, also having an academic background and a wealth of experience. Tracy was very helpful in putting many of my concerns at ease. We used some of our video calls to talk through the lifecycle of a data science project and it immediately gave me a much better understanding of my progress and where I needed to improve. Her advice has been crucial in me establishing my role within my startup. From very broad questions about how to manage/communicate stakeholders to specific questions about data science/model building, Tracy was able to answer them all. I would often send her emails and get responses within a couple of days (the timezone difference being a blocker) which addressed all my questions. My communication style is often quite chaotic, moving with my train of thought and Tracy kept up and was able to keep up which was very helpful during our calls. She was very generous with her time (she was definitely not just running down the clock) and you could see she was caring about me as a professional and a person. Very highly recommend Tracy for anyone feeling lost and looking for direction!

I've recently made the transition from academia to industry and was feeling rather lost working at a small start up with no other data scientists to really guide me or give me advice. Decided to start a mentorship with Tracy so that I can get advice on my transition, trying to understand what I'm doing right/wrong and also get advice on projects I was working on. Tracy was the perfect person to contact as she has a lot of experience and her background was a perfect fit. From simple questions about expectations of timelines, to more technical questions about methods for unsupervised learning, to more overarching goals around stakeholder management; Tracy was always keen to give her expert opinions. Regarding her responsiveness, she was always very generous with her time and I would often get responses within a couple of days (we quite far in terms of time zone). Our video calls were very helpful as she was able to really read through my often chaotic train of thought. She was quite flexible with me changing topics on the fly and was certainly not time watching as you could tell she really cared about my progression as a professional and a person. Overall a very good experience! Very recommended for anyone seeking guidance with their professional development :)

Even though I have extensive experience in data, I have been wanting to pivot to the field of data science. In my search for a mentor I came across Tracys profile as a mentor. She is very impressive, knowledgeable and experienced. She is a great mentor !! I had a lot of doubts entering this program but she has been very instrumental in clarifying them at every step of the way. I would definitely recommend Tracy to anyone wanting to further their data science journey.
