Summary
Anna Friedman is a Senior Data Strategist in Chicago who blends nine years of data, product, and digital-marketing experience with a PhD-trained curiosity rooted in academia and the arts. She transitioned from higher education to tech seven years ago and now specializes in data auditing, integrations, predictive modeling, and user-centered digital product work for K–12, non-profits, and B2B/B2C organizations. Comfortable with Python, SQL, Django, NLP, and cloud deployment, she builds practical analytics and web tools—like a book-popularity calculator and a Django app hosted on AWS—that drive measurable outcomes. A former college professor and museum curator, she leverages strong writing, project management, and UX instincts to translate complex datasets into actionable strategy and clearer communications. Outside work she runs a successful digital-humanities project that grew to 10,000+ organic followers and consistently ranks highly in search—evidence of her knack for SEO, storytelling, and audience growth.
