Senior🎓
Top SchoolEmily Lemmerman is a PhD student and researcher based in New York with nine years of experience applying quantitative and qualitative methods to social policy and labor issues. She blends data engineering, statistical analysis, and visualization to translate complex datasets into actionable insights, from eviction research at Princeton's Eviction Lab to campaign-scale SMS analytics for Bernie Sanders. Her background spans academia, political organizing, and communications leadership, including a role as Communications Director in the New York State Assembly and organizer work with the Teamsters. She has hands-on experience with R, Python, and SQL, and a track record of process automation that scaled programs to hundreds of millions of messages and measurable conversion improvements. Emily’s work often sits at the intersection of rigorous social-science methods and practical civic impact, reflecting an uncommon comfort switching between field organizing and technical research. Trained at Stanford in Sociology with a data-science track, she brings both policy fluency and engineering discipline to research problems.
