Bio
David Dietrich
We engaged Nina to advise us on developing a data science course and teaching it to people with a variety of backgrounds. Nina was simply outstanding. In addition to her deep domain expertise in machine learning, statistics, and data science, she has a gift for communicating complex ideas clearly and patiently. At every step, she looked for ways to go above and beyond what was asked and deliver a high degree of value quickly. She’s one of the sharpest people I’ve had the pleasure of working with in my career; I’d hire her again in a second if I had the need.

Nina really helped me understand the practical applications of data mining techniques with real world data. She was able to explain the underpinnings of complex models and approaches in a way that built confidence in our final project output. She is an excellent data scientist and a great mentor.
