Speaker. Teacher. Storyteller.


What I’m about

I’m a people researcher based in Chicago, Illinois. In my work, I give data a soul through storytelling, putting people’s lived experiences at the center of my research. I reside at the intersection of data, people, and purpose.

What others have said about working with me

"Lena's emotional intellect is off of the charts. She is wise, reflective, insightful, and perhaps most importantly, incredibly self aware and vulnerable (i.e. brave, and comfortable taking risks).” - Lindsay E.

"Lena is a positive force, always striving towards a shared outcome with clear direction and the ability to diagnose a problem, develop a solution and present a beautifully manicured solution in a short amount of time.” - Jordan M.

“Lena has a superpower of building community and holding a conversation. She has conversations with people that they remember forever and it comes naturally to her because of her genuine curiosity for others.” - Patricia V.
