Elizabeth Gilbert is a fourth-year OSU student with a passion for Data Science. She loves analytics leadership, powerlifting, swing dance, and her church community. Elizabeth learns best through and loves discussion. She is enthusiastic about everything from new opportunities to everyday adventures, and is not afraid to stand up for what she believes in; her Enneagram type is 9w8.

After joining the Big Data & Analytics Association at Ohio State, which aims to inspire students to think analytically, empower them through hands on training, and connect them to potential employers, in 2016 Elizabeth joined the leadership team in roles which would range from Event Coordinator to Vice President. In 2018, Elizabeth gave a TEDxOhioStateUniversity talk on the Importance of Big Data, and worked to organize the second Women In Analytics conference in Columbus, which increases visibility to the women making an impact in the analytics space, where she has since coordinated everything from speakers to day-of logistics. On December 15th, 2019, she will graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Data Analytics, specializing in Computational Analytics and focusing in Machine Intelligence, after 3.5 years at Ohio State.

Five years from now, in 2024, Elizabeth sees herself as a part of a data science team doing product analytics and working to make the world a more cohesive, easier place to operate, and a better place to be. She loves Google’s use of data collection through Google opinion rewards and the Local Guides program, the analytics community around Tableau software, the product analytics she has heard going on at Microsoft, and the impact that an improved user experience can have on users’ day to day lives.
