Welcome to Transform with Analytics!

Hello,

Welcome to the inaugural issue of Transform with Analytics, a newsletter dedicated to helping professionals harness the power of analytics to drive meaningful change, no matter the industry. My name is Lashell Thomas, and I’m thrilled to have you join me as we explore how data and analytics can unlock innovation, improve decision-making, and create transformative solutions across diverse fields.

I created this newsletter to serve as a valuable resource for anyone passionate about using analytics to solve problems and uncover opportunities. With both a Master of Public Health (MPH) and a Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) specializing in public health informatics, I’ve spent my career managing analytics projects and products across industries, including healthcare, public health, and beyond. My work has spanned inpatient and outpatient care, pharmacy and medical benefits, Medicaid programs, and more. Along the way, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the versatility of analytics to address challenges and improve outcomes, whether in healthcare, business, or public service.

Through Transform with Analytics, you can expect to gain insights and strategies that apply broadly to the world of analytics. Each issue will deliver actionable advice on mastering analytics tools, understanding emerging trends, and optimizing workflows to help you succeed. Whether you’re leading data-driven projects, managing teams, or simply looking to sharpen your analytics skills, this newsletter will provide you with the knowledge and inspiration you need to make an impact.

Published weekly, this newsletter is designed to keep you informed, inspired, and ahead of the curve. You’ll find tips and strategies for career development, real-world examples of analytics in action, and practical ways to apply data-driven thinking to challenges in any industry.

I’m excited to connect with you through this platform and to share my knowledge and experiences, but this newsletter isn’t just about me—it’s about us building a community of professionals passionate about analytics. If there’s a topic you’d like me to cover, a challenge you’re navigating, or a success story you want to share, I’d love to hear from you.

Let’s build this community together. Share this newsletter with a colleague, connect with me on LinkedIn, or reply to this email to introduce yourself. Together, we can unlock the full potential of analytics to transform industries, organizations, and lives.

Warm regards,
Lashell Thomas, DrPH, MPH
