LINDSEY: On Starting a Consulting Practice

“So much of it, like any, you know, a lot of us through the pandemic, we realized that work-life balance is a bit elusive... But I think the thing that I probably learned most through the pandemic was when I became a lot more confident in was my ability to project manage and my ability to tackle complex challenges with a remote team."

LINDSEY: On Data Accuracy and Maintenance 

"As far as maintaining your data accuracy, first you have to get it clean. You have to clean the data first in order to maintain it... So the first step to me is to figure out scope it out, understand what the data need is truly to clean, and then develop a process for maintaining it."
