Summary
Laura Manor is a data scientist with nine years of experience at the intersection of NLP, graph analytics, and education technology, currently building GraphRAG solutions at Eastridge Analytics. She leverages a strong computational linguistics background and hands-on engineering—developing NLP pipelines, scalable web-scraping, clustering and topic analyses, and Python visualizations—to turn messy text into actionable insights. Previously she designed a K–8 computer science curriculum and centralized student information systems, blending pedagogy with product-minded tooling to improve learning outcomes and operations. Her research experience with transformer models and genre-specific text simplification informs pragmatic model choices for real-world data. Based in Denver, she brings a rare mix of classroom design, research rigor, and production data engineering to projects that bridge technology and education.
