Lisa Cruz Novohatski (She/Her)

Lisa Cruz Novohatski is the Senior Data & Insights Analyst working at the organization to support the various data and evaluation efforts underway to assess the impact of our programs, including implementing analyses plans across SMASH programming, collaborating on the Foundation’s national efforts aiming to expand computer science, and supporting data analyses needs for landscape reports. Lisa most recently worked at Gale, A Cengage Company, where she worked with public library customers to help them get the most of their experience with Gale’s analytics products. She walked them through a proprietary dashboard, pointing out insights along the way and talking through implications of the data. Prior to Gale, Lisa worked at the New York Public Library on a team of internal consultants called Strategic Research and Data Analytics. As a team, they supported data work across the institution, so she could assess the attendance data for Out of School Time programs or assess needs around reference.

Outside of work, Lisa loves spending time with her two little girls. She also loves knitting and baking.
