I am a Data Scientist & Professional Educator at RStudio, where I work to help people learn and use programming to do better work in less time, with less friction, and (perhaps) more joy.
I love working with data scientists across the spectrum- from beginners to advanced users- and particularly enjoy using software tools to create educational materials that enlighten and engage learners. Topics I teach range from literate programming to machine learning. My teaching materials have been used by NASA, Pew Research Center, University of Oregon, and now RStudio.
