Meet the Pride

What is Pride?

Kendall Lyons and Anjin Singh met in 2021 when both worked as epidemiologists with the CDC Foundation. Specializing in data analysis, visualization, and reporting, they provided needed context on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to routine vaccinations.

Through their close collaboration, the idea of Pride Data Insights was born. The name Pride was chosen after the two made the connection between their surnames: Lyons and Singh, which in Punjabi means lion.

With the goal of harnessing data to solve complex problems with innovative solutions, Pride Data Insights supports partners in achieving their organizational, program, and project objectives.
