For nearly a decade, I have taught statistics and data science as an instructor of courses, labs, and workshops. Students describe me as enthusiastic and accessible and I most enjoy providing powerful examples to make complex methods more tangible. My goal is to train audiences in becoming critical consumers and producers of numbers, and to motivate anyone to learn basic methods of scientific inquiry. I am most proud of having taught Python workshops that introduce students and faculty to computational methods (see workshop links below.)
