Combining the passions of Data and Teaching with Laura Ellis

Laura Ellis, IBM Cloud systems Architect, always wanted to be a teacher. A recognition here and an award there in Computer Science got Laura interested in computer science and later a job with IBM. Laura combined her passion for teaching with DB2 and toured the world training others in DB2. As the business intelligence started picking up in 2013, Laura completed a part time MS in Predictive analytics and switched in data science. Laura realized that the organization needed people with other skills in data engineering, data wrangling etc and adapted. Laura started Little Miss Data as a personal project to combine data science with her personal passions such as Peloton R and teaching kids about data science. Laura believes that the future trend is about data security and ethics.
