Welcome back to an all new season of My Career in Data – a DATAVERSITY Talks podcast where we sit down with professionals to discuss how they have built their careers around data.
This episode we speak with Macie Minier, Director of Strategy and Evaluation, Coburn Place Safe Haven. She never imagined working with data on a macro level. Growing up watching her social worker mother, she assumed social work meant directly helping people face-to-face, starting as a case manager at a domestic violence emergency shelter realizing that is not always the case working with survivors brought in from police departments and hospitals. While she loved the interpersonal connection, she kept facing the same systemic problems beyond individual cases, so she stayed vocal with supervisors about trends and persistently offered to tackle administrative work until she transitioned into program analysis. Listen to how as Director of Strategy and Evaluation at Coburn Place, a domestic violence safe haven, handles data governance, grant reporting, strategic planning, and KPIs across the entire organization and learning that her biggest challenge wasn’t analytical ability but communication.
