DATA GODDESS OF #SML
Jessica Jolly

Jessica Jolly is a Microsoft Certified Trainer who helps businesses, non-profits and individuals improve their business intelligence skills, bit by byte. She runs her own business, ALT-Enter, LLC. Before her reinvention as an entrepreneur (after 50!), she worked for Unilever, a global consumer products company, for 27 years, in a variety of managerial roles.
DATA GODDESS QUALIFICATIONS
Jessica Jolly has created the Saturday Morning Learning group of like-minded professionals who work together to expand their knowledge and experience in the analytical space. The Data Goddess of #SML is an expert at education, asking questions, and bringing out the best in people.
"I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples."
Mother Teresa
Jessica's business practice focuses on data visualization tools, specifically Microsoft's Power BI platform. She is living proof that you can cry through every math class you ever had, and still fashion a career that focuses on data, charts, visuals, and code.
One thing she did miss about her corporate life is the built-in community of colleagues. As a freelance professional, it is hard to re-create that camaraderie. To address that need, she created #SML (Saturday Morning Learning), a group of people who get together (virtually) almost every Saturday to share ideas, problems, connections and frustrations.
She blogs (sporadically) at www.altentertraining.com, tweets very occasionally at @JBJ2110. You can connect with her on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessicabjolly/
DATA GOD FUN FACT
When she is not training other adults, she is volunteering at her local public library, knitting and quilting (a refuge from all of the technology!), reading about the Civil War, swimming, gardening, biking and hiking.
