Top SchoolKatie Lyons is a data analytics manager and former epidemiologist with 11 years of experience applying computational biology and public health methods to real-world problems. Based in Chicago, she has led probabilistic record linkage, standardized multi-language pipelines (SAS, SQL, Python, R), and maintained shared codebases to streamline maternal health and vital records analyses for state health agencies. She blends technical depth in phylogenetics and scripting with hands-on project management in a PMO, training analysts and translating complex results for stakeholders including clinicians and legislators.
