We're so excited to have you. I'm excited to be here.

All right. Well, give us a quick background. How did you get into data? Yeah. Well, currently, I'm a senior data science instructor for Flatiron School, as well as content developer. Prior to that, I served in the industry as a data consultant working in the higher education and pharmaceutical spaces. And this all started from being a high school engineering teacher. Very cool. Can't wait to hear more about that. So Jelly, we got to talk a little bit before the show today. And one of the things I'm fascinated to hear about is that there is apparently a Disney and Data AI conference. We've got to talk more about that.

What are some topics you want to dig into? Yeah, I'm excited to talk about that, too, as well as how you can maintain your value and why education is so important if you're trying to enhance yourself as a data professional or transition into the data world for the first time. Awesome. Well, let's dig in. Yeah, sounds good. All right. That's a wrap for the prequel. The full-length episode will drop Wednesday morning. Subscribe now so you don't miss it.
