I want to try something that can help the bowl. Every month I will start a thread (and pin it) where people can post where they are and where they want to go. Bowl members who are in the targeted industry can reach out to the poster and connect.

So let’s try on this post: where are you now and where do you want to go ? Let’s help each other out!

Thanks for creating this thread!

I'm a recent college grad with 2.5 years of experience in Python, R, SQL, Tableau/PowerBi analytics (full-time/internships included) working with stakeholders across tech, marketing, and startups looking to transition into consumer insights/product analytics. I also have a psychology and art background (painted a few murals here in NYC) that helps me leverage creativity and human behavior to build out visual dashboards. See my attached resume and LinkedIn.
