I'm a career changer, completing my Master of Science in Statistics from California State University East Bay in May 2023. From June 2023 to July 2024, I worked as a Data Scientist providing statistical support and expertise to process engineers in Intel’s leading developmental fab. As of September 2023, I’m also a board member of the Data Science Learning Community, formerly known as the R4DS Online Learning Community. When it comes to coding, my interests include exploring the intricacies of data visualization, mainly using the R programming language. Outside of my professional life, I'm passionate about bringing people together around common goals of shared learning in diverse and inclusive communities.

Cascadia R Conference 2024 talk: Learning Together at the Data Science Learning Community

Recording coming soon | Slide Presentation | Abstract

• Cascadia R Conf 2024, June 22, 2024. Talk Track: OuR journeys in community & collaboration
• Description: Since 2017, the Data Science Learning Community (DSLC, fka the R4DS Online Learning Community) has organized weekly book clubs to help data science learners and practitioners read and discuss data science books in safe, nurturing, small-group cohorts. We also support one another by asking and answering programming questions in our Slack help channels. I discuss how we keep our Slack community friendly and inclusive, and various way to participate in the community.

• Final Project for STAT 694 Applied Research in Statistics & Biostatistics, California State University East Bay, Fall 2022
• Compared the multiple linear regression (MLR) model with the inverse transformation dependent response variable to see how much prediction power is lost by not using a transformed response variable to fit a MLR model, and whether it is worth the inability to easily explain your model when using a transformed response variable.
