Corinna Turbes

Corinna Turbes graduated from the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota with a Master's of Global Public Policy degree in 2017. Her experience is in helping advocates and experts interface with policymakers to create practical, workable policy solutions. This includes working to build understanding of complex issues such as data access and sharing, privacy, as well as legislative and regulatory processes. In her current role, Corinna focuses on supporting successful implementation of key data laws, supporting new initiatives to improve the state of our national data infrastructure, as well as formulating new evidence-informed policy recommendations. Her work includes policies that improve functional subject areas such as data sharing and privacy, and data production, as well as subject specific focuses on education and health data. Corinna also manages a team of policy analysts, providing guidance, support and feedback to team members, ensuring policies and strategies are developed and implemented in a collaborative, effective manner. 

Corinna's data heroes are those who are thinking carefully about how data can both support and harm people in communities such as Catherine D'Iganzio, Danielle Citron, and Joy Buolamwini.
