Hi! I'm Emma.
I'm a data specialist with a wide range of experience in data including analytics, visualization, database organization and management, and data governance. Prior to joining Charles Schwab, I worked at the National Science Foundation (NSF), Office of Inspector General as a Senior Data Analyst and later a Data Analytics Project Manager. During my tenure at NSF, I was responsible for performing advanced analytical work on suspected cases of fraud, waste, and abuse and for leading the development of advanced business analytics solutions that collect, analyze, and enhance NSF data. I graduated with honors from James Madison University (go Dukes!) where I studied Computer Science and Mathematics and I'm currently working through my M.S. in Data Science at the University of Denver. When I'm not busy with work or school you can find me walking my two pandemic pups, struggling through a Pilates class, or sipping wine with friends at a wine bar in Denver!
