A bit about me, Jess Lane: As the founder of Data-Informed Impact, I specialize in transforming complex data into intuitive visual dashboards and training programs for K-12 schools. My goal is to empower educators to bridge the student success gap. Since 2020, I've developed custom data solutions for over 160 schools across the U.S. and Canada, drawing on my decade of experience as a data coach, instructional coach, certified math teacher, and my Master of Education in learning and technology.
Living in Cincinnati, Ohio, I'm deeply passionate about data, education, and personal growth, often immersing myself in spreadsheets, brain research, and Brené Brown's writings. When I'm not collaborating with schools, I'm a dedicated mother to my daughter Emmy and a caretaker of 50 houseplants.
