About

I am an innovative applied data scientist with more than thirteen years of experience in data collection, processing, analysis, and modeling within academia and for-profit companies. I also have experience presenting complex statistical models in easily understood ways regardless of the experience of the audience. Additionally, I have experience with purchasing, procurement, and budget monitoring while balancing administrative work with research. Lastly, I routinely self-educate as needed to stay on track with the ever changing world of data science.
