A Rubik's cube has about 43 quintillion possible scrambles. Brute force could work, but what matters is finding efficiencies: fast recognition, the right sequence, fewest wasted moves. Stephanie speedcubes (competition-style, as fast as possible) for fun, current best around a minute, along with categorizing data and making art. She brings the same instinct to her work: the world's information is messy and sometimes hidden, and the skill isn't just finding an answer eventually. It's building an efficient, repeatable path to what it actually means.
About Stephanie
Speedcubers don't get fast by guessing; they learn algorithms, frameworks for knowing exactly which move to deploy in which situation. Stephanie thinks about data the same way: when to reach for logistic versus linear regression, how to guard against overfitting or p-hacking, how to read a confusion matrix. She meticulously researches and develops repeatable processes for capturing information accurately instead of leaving it to chance.
With over a decade of experience in data analytics and visualization, Stephanie uses her left-brain skills to optimize business performance as a consultant. And she uses her right-brain skills to paint watercolors, play the ukulele, and read up on feminist theory.
In both work and life, Stephanie’s passion is taking information and finding interesting patterns in it—whether that means providing custom analytics for a Fortune 50 Financial Services Firm or just visualizing her husband’s Goodreads data for him.
Born and raised in Texas, Stephanie has a Bachelor of Science in Statistics and Finance from New York University, as well as an MBA from Columbia Business School. As a data consultant, she’s worked in healthcare, banking, and finance at various companies.
About This Site
A cube piece almost never belongs to just one face. The same corner completing the white side is also part of the blue one and the red one. The sections below work the same way: professional and personal aren't really separate piles, just different faces meeting at the same pieces.
On this site, you’ll find a mix of Stephanie’s professional accomplishments and a little bit more about her life as a New Yorker too.
