Managing Director @ Pantheon Insight

About

Hi there! I’m the Managing Director at Pantheon Insight, where I lead political analytics and data engineering strategy. With nearly a decade of experience in the political data space, I’ve supported hundreds of campaigns, nonprofits, and national trade associations by building and deploying advanced analytics systems that power smarter, outcome-driven decision-making.My work sits at the intersection of data science, engineering, and applied survey research. I specialize in machine learning, statistical modeling, survey methodology, and data visualization, with hands-on experience across the full data lifecycle - from research design and instrument development to data architecture, modeling, weighting, and deployment. I’ve led the development of scalable analytics frameworks that transform complex, multi-source datasets into clear, actionable intelligence.I hold a B.A. in Political Science and Sociology from Augusta University and an MPAP from American University, along with a certificate in social and behavioral research - foundations that inform my rigorous approach to quantitative analysis and experimental design. However, I am always down to learn something new! My greatest strength is bridging technical depth with strategic clarity, leading high-performing teams to build scalable systems and deliver precise, evidence-based strategies that move organizations forward with confidence.
