All About Elizabeth Gilbert

Portrait of Elizabeth
Elizabeth Gilbert is a first-year OSU Honors student with a passion for exploring Data Analytics. She loves TED talks, staying organized, mango lemonade, and church retreats. Elizabeth learns best through discussion, and remembers things visually; her Myers–Briggs personality type is ENFJ.
After taking the AP Statistics test in 2014, Elizabeth co-founded the Stats Club at her high school, which meets bi-monthly to discuss higher level statistical topics with other students who have an interest in continuing their statistical learning. Then, through careful tracking and detailed planning, Elizabeth led her Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) chapter to increase in membership by the highest percentage in the state of Illinois, winning the Presidential Award for membership at the State Leadership Conference 2016.
Five years from now, in 2021, Elizabeth sees herself as a part of a data analytics team, 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 location tracking and the Local Guides program, IBM Watson’s function in business analytics, and the ability to change lives through data, such as what Nancy Lublin did, as described in her TED talk, “How data from a crisis text line is saving lives“.
