Heather Greenfield, MS, Data Systems and Reports Analyst:
Heather holds professional degrees in computer science and educational instruction from Drexel University, but found a professional passion working with data. In nearly a decade at PHMC, Heather worked on many exciting projects in the Family and Early Education group that honed her reputation for Microsoft Excel wizardry. In her current role as business analyst for ChildWare, Heather writes requirements for enhancements, deep-dives into the system to troubleshoot issues, and creates ad hoc reports and analyses. A large part of that work supports accurate and complete collection of data for the PHLpreK program. She also maintains custom Excel-based caseload management tools and occasionally codes macros for other programs, and acts as a data/Excel consultant on spreadsheet design best practices and reporting within the department.
