Background

About Mitchell Sellers

Founder, Mitchell Mapping & Analytics (launching 2025). Political Scientist by training, data-and-maps problem-solver by trade. I help nonprofits and public agencies turn messy information into decision-ready analytics, interactive maps, and plain-English insights—so people can act, not just admire a dashboard. What I do now- GIS & spatial analysis (QGIS/ArcGIS Pro), program evaluation, forecasting, survey design, and policy analysis-Build data pipelines and dashboards (Stata, R etc) that are maintainable, documented, and right-sized for busy teams-Translate findings into briefings leaders can use next week, not next year. Sliding-scale pricing for small nonprofits and public-interest projects. Where I come from-PhD, MA, Political Science (University of Florida)+ MPA (Texas State)+ MPH, Epidemiology (Tulane). three master's degrees and a doctorate—because the questions I chase cross fields-Former faculty at Tulane University, Colorado State University, Temple University, and the University of Florida. I taught methods, executive politics, state & local policy, health policy, and civil rights-NCAA lacrosse official—decisive, rules-literate, and calm when the stakes feel loud. How I work-Practical > performative. I value defensible methods and deliverables that travel: code, documentation, and maps your team can reuse-Nonpartisan by design. My publications span executive power, state policy, and issues of governance and equity. My job is to illuminate choices and consequences, not pick them-Mission-aligned flexibility. If your work services the public, we'll find a way—through scope, phasing, or pricing—to make the numbers work. If you're a nonprofit or public agency facing a "where," why," or "how much" question—and you want answers that you can act on—let's talk. I'm also open to adjacent analytic projects that align with my expertise and interests.
