About me
I’m a graduate student in the Quantitative Methods program at York University, Toronto, Canada. My research thus far has focused on R package development, the (mis)use of statistical methods, and reproducibility. I am also interested in statistical programming more broadly, with a focus on R and Python. When I’m not in the lab, I am usually playing guitar or spending time with my dog, Ringo.
Highlights of my work
📦 Second author of Professor Michael Friendly’s R package vcdExtra.
- Built the beginnings of a ‘tidy’ framework for working with categorical data in R. A vignette describing this work may be found here.
🏆 First prize (Bachelor’s) oral presentation at the Canadian Statistics Student Conference run by the Statistical Society of Canada.
- My presentation was on the work I did for my undergraduate thesis, which was an investigation into the validity of methods to detect questionable research practices (e.g., p-hacking) in large sets of results.
📖 Reviewing and editing Professor Michael Friendly’s in-progress textbook Visualizing Multivariate Data and Models in R.
🐍 Co-creating an introductory workshop for data analysis in Python (enrol here).
- To be delivered through the Quantitative Methods Workshop Series run by the Department of Psychology and Statistical Consulting Service at York University.
