Senior Data Analyst & Statistician | R | Evaluation, Research, & Data Reliability

Profile Summary

I’m a senior data analyst and applied statistician with extensive experience analyzing diverse datasets for research, evaluation, and policy studies. Over the past decade, I’ve worked with survey, administrative, financial, and program data—ranging from simple spreadsheets to complex relational databases. My strength lies in meticulous data cleaning, reliability assessment, and clear communication of findings, drawing on my years in government and academia, where I have evaluated data quality across numerous subject matter domains. I’m proficient in R for data processing, visualization, and statistical modeling (including logistic and survival analysis), and I specialize in turning complex information into reliable, evidence-based insights.
