I use data analytics and visualization to shed light on the LGBTQ+ experience.
You can usually find me writing code to discover insights in data. With Gayta Science, I am typically asking an interesting question related to the LGBTQ+ experience, exploring data sources that could be used to shed light on the question, and then creating visuals and a narrative to communicate findings. In the past I’ve worked on both research and development teams, and a data scientist role can vary depending on the goal of a project. It is a broad field that you can shape your own path in.
Here's the first step for everyone
Take a free introductory online coding (Python or R) and statistics class. Find an interesting dataset online (github and kaggle are good sources) and explore it. Think of interesting questions you have that the data can speak to and try to create summarizations, statistical tests / models, and visualizations that answer your questions. Follow conversations on Twitter or other social platforms of those who you admire in the field.
