Natalie Schneider, M.S., Statistician and Data Control Specialist

ACTON had the great fortune to hire Natalie as a statistical intern while she was finishing her Master's Degree requirements. That gave us the chance to employ her fulltime once she earned her MS in statistics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Now she processes and prepares client data for the modeling process performed by ACTON's TasC Model software. Once the data has run through TasC, Natalie selects carrier routes for her clients and develops final mail recommendations. Her duties also include programming and statistical analysis for ad hoc reports that clients request.

Natalie graduated Magna Cum Laude from Nebraska's Doane College with a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics and computer science. She was on Doane's Dean's List for eight semesters.

During her leisure time, Natalie plays wheelchair basketball for a team in Lincoln and as a fly-in at the University of Arizona. She also plays sitting volleyball for a team in Omaha. Natalie has participated in the Relay for Life for the American Cancer Society each year since 2000.
