Title: Healthcare Data Analyst
How long at WHA?
It will be three years this June.
I am responsible for working with hospital systems and WHA employees to create Tableau Dashboards and data visualizations. I write the Fast Facts each month which highlights different monthly health related observances by using our WHA Information Center data. I deal with special requests within our organization, more recently with different surveys for Quality and salary survey. I work on many projects with quality because of my public health degree like Health Equity and Social Determinants of Health. I love getting to work with data, but most importantly it's the people who really make my job! I love my coworkers and the WHA members I get to work with. WHA is such a great place to work!
Personal interests/hobbies:
I really love doing anything outdoors in both summer and winter! Since moving to North Carolina and the weather is nicer, I've done a lot of hiking. This fall, my boyfriend Matt and I went to Asheville for a weekend and did some hiking in the Blue Ridge Mountains—so beautiful! Some other things I also enjoy are reading, puzzles and hanging out with friends.
