Hi, I’m Stephanie Garland, founder of Turpin Court and current Director of Data Literacy for the Maryland Department of Information Technology. For more than 20 years, I’ve helped organizations use data not just to inform decisions—but to transform outcomes.
From public health systems to state-wide initiatives, I’ve led complex, high-stakes efforts that bridge analytics, equity, and actionable insight.
The work is data. The impact is human.

CURRENTLY / CURRENTLY / CURRENTLY / CURRENTLY
My approach combines clarity and collaboration. I’ve built data academies from the ground up. I’ve unified fractured systems to serve 8 million patients. I’ve worked across silos, disciplines, and departments—because real impact demands more than dashboards. It requires shared understanding.
As a strategist, speaker, and consultant, I support leaders in building data cultures that last. My work is grounded in four principles:
Elevate decision-making.
Cultivate expertise.
Engage stakeholders.
Embed equity.
This isn’t about making data “accessible.” It’s about making it indispensable.
And that starts by speaking the language of both people and precision.
Elevate decision-making. Cultivate expertise. Engage stakeholders. Embed equity.
If you're building a smarter, more equitable future—let’s talk.
Turpin Court is currently accepting consulting and speaking inquiries for 2026.
