A proposito di questo titolo

 In this episode of The Quietly Ambitious Analyst, I sit down with Thais Cooke, a senior healthcare data analyst who brings a decade of clinical experience into data and AI.

Thais shares her unconventional path from dental hygiene to analytics, how she got hooked the moment she wrote SELECT *, and why the analysts who stand out aren’t just “data-driven”—they’re context-driven.

You’ll hear a grounded conversation on:
  • Why multitasking feels productive (and why it backfires)

  • How to leverage your industry background when you’re breaking into analytics

  • What “trust” really looks like with stakeholders (and how fast it can collapse)

  • The underrated power of documentation and “building knowledge that lasts.”

  • Why communication makes or breaks data teams—especially when pipelines break

If you’re an aspiring/early-career analyst or career switcher who wants to communicate with clarity, build credibility, and do work that actually sticks, this one’s for you.Topics:
