Allissa Dillman
Founder & CEO of BioData Sage LLC
Allissa helps people and organizations make sense of data and build the confidence to actually use it. After over a decade at the NIH working at the intersection of data, training, and community, she founded BioData Sage to bring a more human-centered approach to data science. Allissa has created programs for under-resourced schools and minority-serving institutions, organized 50+ hackathons, and loves designing spaces where collaboration and inclusion come first. Whether it’s strategic planning, cloud tools, or just making data less intimidating, she’s here to make sure data works for you, not the other way around.
Libby Heeren
Data Community Manager at Posit, PBC
I'm a data science educator and community builder who wants to help you cultivate a community of practice for yourself. I talk a lot about the benefits of making genuine human connections, the power of vulnerability, and why we all benefit when we show up as our whole selves. I'm also the host of the Data Humans podcast where my motto is: data science is not one thing.
Rachael Dempsey
Community Manager at Posit, PBC
I love connecting people across the data science community to share what they're accomplishing with data and help others do the same through community discussions, industry meetups, and more.
