I'm a statistician exploring how data can improve the lives of people and animals. I've had the opportunity to work with teams across a range of disciplines, helping them build effective data systems, make sense of complex information, and communicate the impact of their work. My goal is to help transform data into meaningful insights that contribute to a better world.
