Hi!
I’m an Assistant Professor of Teaching at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. My priority here is to develop data science initiatives through the Department of Statistics.
My hobbies include outdoor recreation 🌲 such as hiking 👞, birding 🐦, skiing 🎿, fishing 🎣, canoeing 🚣, and others.
Some of the things I do:
- I solve problems using statistics, machine learning, and data visualizations.
- I interact with students to make data science more approachable.
- I use R, git, and friends to help me do these things.
I can also identify birds, and other things about nature.
Here are generic slides I use to introduce myself.
