Shifra Isaacs
(she / they)
Data Scientist | Technical Writer | Support Engineer
I'm looking to utilize my programming, writing, and business skills to make a positive impact via data, analytics, and education. I've built my career through the following experiences: technical support at Sigma Computing, client-facing data science at Annalect and JPMorgan Chase, technical writing at Crash Course and DataLemur, and analytics reporting at Prose.
When I'm not programming, you'll find me writing, cooking, listening to music, spending time with friends, or planning my next trip. Thanks for taking the time to learn more about me :)
