About
Charlotte Lloyd is a data engineer and social science researcher.
My research in the social and environmental sciences spans a wide range of topics from mapping access to childcare services to predicting vessel traffic delays on inland waterways to evaluating career pathway programs. I use qualitative, quantitative, and spatial methods including web-scraping and machine learning to collect data and generate insights. Certifications in Human-Centered Design and User Experience reflect my commitment to building research products and digital tools that are responsive to user needs. Skills
