Kimberley Mitchell – Data Whisperer for Independent Insights

whisperer: “a person who excels at calming or training hard-to-manage animals using noncoercive methods based especially on an understanding of the animals' natural instincts”

Inappropriate application of analytic techniques results in faulty decisions. By asking probing questions, listening intently and making sure I understand the situation thoroughly before recommending, reliable solutions result.

Appropriate data analysis requires understanding both the data’s origins and assumptions underlying the analytical technique. By developing a deep understanding of your data, I find meaningful insights that provide reliable actionable guidance.

I enjoy challenging predictive analytics projects across many domains. Quantifying the desired outcome is the first step towards a predictive model; next steps quantify feature/outcome relationships. Let me help understand, extract, organize, analyze, wrangle, and exploit your data, and optimize your data processes!
