Title/Topic: "Analytics Engineer 🤝 Data Analyst -- brought to you by dbt Cloud." In this particular session, Paige Berry (Sr. Data Analyst, dbt Labs) and Lauren Benezra (Senior Analytics Engineer, dbt Labs) will discuss how they work on projects together, how they collaborate, and how they build solutions from end-to-end.

🎤Speaker bios:
Paige Berry is a Senior Data Analyst at dbt Labs, where she loves being a “data investigative journalist” (e.g. finding “the scoop” in the data), and making custom emojis for the company Slack. She’s been working with data for two decades, getting her start as a programmer/analyst in higher ed in 2004 before diving into the world of SaaS tech companies in 2018. Discovering analytics engineering and dbt two years later was a game changer. Outside of work, she enjoys making 1:24 scale miniature houses from kits, exploring the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest, researching who to add to/drop from her fantasy hockey and football team lineups, or reading an anthology of science fiction short stories with one of her several cats snoozing on her lap.

Lauren Benezra is a Senior Analytics Engineer at dbt Labs, and a full-time cat lady. Before discovering analytics engineering, she earned a Master’s in Applied Math, modeling biological systems and cat population dynamics. Later, she became an automation engineer, building all-things-code for data systems and laboratory robotics in the biotech world, where she discovered her love of organizing the unorganized, and the world of dbt. Beyond her day job, trains Jiu-Jitsu, socializes her feral foster cats, and snuggles with her own three cats.
