Alexandra Mannerings

Alexandra Mannerings earned her PhD in Veterinary Science/Epidemiology from the University of Cambridge, UK and an undergraduate degree in biology (summa cum laude) from Emory University in Atlanta. In addition to teaching research methods at Regis University, Dr. Mannerings owns and runs her own analytic education and consulting company, Merakinos. She founded Merakinos to help small businesses and non-profits harness the power of data. Her work as a research scientist across three continents has helped her learn how to ask impactful questions even with limited resources. She is also deeply passionate about helping each of us learn the data conversancy skills we need to be comfortable navigating a world dominated by flying numbers and oft-quoted but poorly explained statistics. Among other previous roles, she worked for the Colorado Hospital Association as their Director of Analytics, where she also helped designed the hospital analytics portal ODHIN. Her two small children keep her very busy with Legos and train sets when she's not data wrangling or teaching.
