Biography

I’m a Scientific Programmer & Educator at The University of Arizona. I collaborate with researchers in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences on statistics, data wrangling, and data visualization. The workshops I teach are on a variety of beginner and intermediate data science topics, typically in R. My background is in plant chemical ecology, plant–insect interactions, and plant demography. I’m also a huge tea geek and occasionally do tea science communication.
