Curiosity-driven data science

Make discoveries, improve your life, and maybe (just maybe) save the world

CURIOSITY, IMAGINATION, AND CREATIVITY ARE THE ENGINES OF THE FUTURE *

Hi, I’m Andrea!

I am a scientist, a standup comedian, and a circus performer.

My life passion is to get everyone involved in science, and particularly data and social science, and particularly if you think you have no business being involved in science.

Based on a life of weaving in between the worlds of science and art, I am one hundred percent convinced that it’s at the intersection of these two worlds where we’ll make the biggest, most life-changing, and world-changing discoveries.

Work With Me

Ready to add a spark of intelligence, humor, and insight to your next project or event? I bring my unique blend of science and comedy to every collaboration, making even the most complex topics engaging, relatable, and downright fun.

Here’s how we can work together:

  • There’s nothing I love more than sharing my enthusiasm for data and social science with new (and particularly non-expert) audiences. If you’re looking to talk about exciting findings and new ways to think about some of our most serious problems — in a surprisingly fun and engaging way — then let’s talk!

  • I’ve had the great fortune to speak with audiences all over the world across all kinds of industries — tech, consulting, law, engineering, and more — about how and why we can all be involved in data science and AI to make discoveries.

    If you’re looking for a high-energy, high-impact, interactive, and memorable keynote for your next event, I’d love to bring my passion for thinking like a scientist to your audience.

    Feel free to contact me directly or reach out through my speaker’s bureau.

  • One of my absolute favorite things to do is bring out the brilliance and wisdom of others around me. Whether it’s emceeing multi-day global innovation summits, moderating discussions with leaders from around the world at the UN, facilitating panels at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics conference, or hosting virtual talk shows to global audiences spotlighting women in leadership (and more!!), there’s very little I love more than helping curate spontaneous-yet-polished discussions between some of our world’s greatest minds.

  • After more than a decade (gasp) of teaching data science and quantitative social science at NYU, NYU Shanghai, and Carnegie Mellon, I decided it was time to take my professor show on the road and empower everyone — not just my wonderful undergraduate students — to think like data scientists.

    Whether you’re looking for a full data science and AI course for your team as part of your data science transformation or upskilling, or are curious about a bespoke course specifically to, say, empower your team to work with data specific to your industry or organization, I’d love to talk about how I can help you truly put all hands on deck when it comes to making discoveries with data.
