Heidi Cronkright is one of a few women in the entire world who is a Data Scientist working in predictive analytics. Her work helps predict the future by combining historical data with: 

• statistical modeling, 
• data mining techniques, 
• and machine learning.

Overall, this process allows her to help companies use big data to identify risks and opportunities.

She specializes in econometrics and predictive statistics. There are only a small handful of companies in the world that do this, and it’s a highly male-dominated environment. Only about 10% are female. Heidi believes women bring a completely different and NEEDED perspective to this work, because women think differently and that's a great thing.

Interesting fact: Did you know that there are roughly 22,000 data points available on every household in America?  This data is what allows Heidi to build models for clients to predict risks and opportunities.

If more women learned how to work at this level, consider what environments and applications this could lead to not only in the business sector, but also in government, nonprofits, and more.

I absolutely LOVE being the host and producer of "Women with Cool Jobs", where I interview women who have unique, trailblazing, and innovative careers. It has been such a blessing to share stories of incredible, inspiring women since I started in 2020.

If you have benefitted from this work, or simply appreciate that I do it, please consider buying me a $5 coffee. ☕️
