About

River City Data Science is a Richmond, VA based husband-and-wife consulting team. We specialize in the analysis and presentation of data from surveys and data that has been collected but wasn’t intended to be analyzed (real-world data). You are probably sitting on real-world data without even knowing it!


We built our data skills in the world of academic science (we met in grad school pursuing Neuroscience PhDs). Since then, we’ve built careers working with biotech companies, government research, and social science organizations. The common thread has always been using data to understand problems, tell stories, and motivate change. We love to work with clients who serve the public good, whether in business, life science, or nonprofits.
