Hello, I'm
Data Scientist & Researcher
Exploring patterns in populations, uncovering stories in data
I'm a data scientist working at the intersection of computational methods and social science research.
I combine rigorous statistical methods with machine learning techniques to transform complex data into meaningful insights about human populations.
I'm also passionate about making data accessible and understandable. I often teach courses on data science and data visualizations, helping students develop the skills to communicate findings clearly and effectively.
I'm also an avid reader — check out the Readings section for some of my recommendations.
I live in Ames, IA with my family.
