About Laura GB
A data scientist before most people knew the term
My Passions
- I am passionate about technical problem solving. I get a huge buzz from taking a clients’ problems and creating a solution that works and can be maintained easily long term.
- I am even more passionate about training others to problem solve. If I can get another person to taste the buzz of technical problem solving, then I have achieved my goal.
- I enjoy learning new technical methods from new programming languages to applying older skills in new ways.
- Data presentation can be beautiful, showing the hidden trends, allowing management to explore data with a mouse click or 2.
- Networking with technical people is the best networking and the UK Power Platform and Data communities are superb.
My Skills

- Trainer – Classroom, small groups, informal drop in, videos, webinars
My Weaknesses
- I cannot sell things I am not passionate about.
- I will continue to solve problems way past my bedtime.
