Biography

I am a long-time R user with a doctorate in Statistics from the University of Manchester. I spent many years working in the U.K. university sector as a senior lecturer and have published an extensive number of articles and papers in the field of quantile regression. I love sharing knowledge and I use R to create various platforms with education materials that can help people learn to extract insight from data. Unsurprisingly, I am an enthusiastic R user and in addition to my involvement supporting women in STEM related activities, I am dedicated to creating an inclusive culture by developing initiatives supporting all underrepresented groups within the DS community.
