Bonny P McClain

Bonny is a data scientist with a strong background in public health. Her geospatial work explores the built infrastructure and how it impacts social inequity and health outcomes. As a self described human geographer and social anthropologist, Dr McClain applies advanced data analytics, including data engineering and geo-enrichment, to poverty, race, and gender discussions. Her research targets judgments about structural determinants, racial equity, and elements of intersectionality to illuminate the confluence of metrics contributing to poverty. Moving beyond ZIP codes to explore apportioned socioeconomic data based on underlying population data leads to discovering novel variables based on location to build more context to complex data questions. Bonny is a member of the National Press Club, 500 Women Scientists, The Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA), former member of Tableau Speaker’s Bureau, and Investigational Reporters and Editors allowing access to a wide variety of health policy and health economic discussions.
