Summary
Pingping Ren is an institutional research professional with nine years of hands-on experience designing, managing, and analyzing large-scale educational and social science datasets. She combines strong econometric and statistical skills (SAS, SPSS, Stata, SQL) with hands-on expertise in GIS, BI/ETL pipelines, and data warehousing to support enrollment, finance, and performance-funding analysis. At Northern Illinois University she authors complex analytical scripts, optimizes funding and tuition forecasting models, and produces timely reports for federal, state, and university stakeholders. Her background in economics and MIS, plus a GIS graduate certificate, enables her to blend spatial analysis with econometric modeling—a less obvious strength that helps reveal geographic patterns in institutional metrics. Detail-oriented and collaborative, she routinely manages multiple high-priority projects on tight timelines while mentoring cross-functional teams.
