Hi! I'm Natasha Mathur

I'm the Director of Data at Maisha Meds, a healthcare tech organization helping improve access to medicine in multiple sub-Saharan African countries.

Before joining the health policy world, I worked in American politics during the 2020 election. I started as a Data Scientist on Elizabeth Warren's presidential campaign.

Later that cycle, I joined the Biden campaign as a Senior Analytics Engineer, where I focused on early vote data. I continued this role for the Georgia runoff Senate races, leading early vote data engineering efforts.

Afterward I worked at Precision Strategies, where I helped political and non-profit organizations leverage their data and technology for maximum impact.
