Hi there,


I sit at the intersection of data, education, and customer success, and I’ve seen firsthand how these three pillars are interconnected. I began my career as an analyst, transitioned into data education, and later led customer success teams managing millions of dollars in portfolios for global organizations. Through this journey, I’ve learned that without education aligned with the voice of the customer, any strategy will ultimately fall flat.

But success isn’t just about customers—it’s about empowering people within your organization. We help individuals learn how to talk about data, teach it effectively, and tie it to customer needs. When you give your employees the right tools, you help your customers thrive.

At Be Data Lit, we focus on helping both people and organizations succeed through accessible data and education. Our platform-agnostic approach helps companies scale their internal data education as AI reshapes the way teams operate. My mission is to ensure that data becomes a tool for empowerment, driving success for both individuals and organizations.
