The lessons learned over the course of a rewarding career have been many. Some were learned early and matured into core professional values and guiding principles. Others were harvested by taking calculated risks and learning through failure. The privilege of joining the School of Data Science Advisory Board presents a great opportunity to share some of those lessons and knowledge to help others navigate the path forward.
