Emilie is a data analyst with GitLab, and is married to an active duty military officer. She came to the profession in a non-standard way -- via a degree in Political Science from Princeton! Being a military spouse meant that she needed the ability to work remotely, since she might be moving constantly. At GitLab, ALL employees are remote, so it's perfect. She had a natural ability to think critically and use data to make decisions, and she was able to pick up coding from books and online resources. If you're interested in Data Science, this is the interview for you, since we go into a lot of detail on how she thinks and what a data scientist actually does day to day.
