Statistician | Specialization in Biostatistics and Analysis of Environmental and Ecological Data

Summary

I am a scientist and professional, skilled at problem solving and communication with over 10 years of experience in scientific research and data analysis.  I own and operate a statistical consulting practice specializing in biological, environmental, and ecological data, Conservation Informatics, LLC.  I have a Masters degree in Statistics and a PhD in Biology from Stanford University.  I am an American Statistical Association accredited Graduate Statistician (GStat).  I have taught Biostatistics at the undergraduate level and worked with numerous researchers as a statistical consultant and data analyst.  I have experience communicating statistical concepts to those with any quantitative skill level.  I make it a priority to listen to and fully understand the goals of my client prior to beginning any analysis or consulting project.  In my experience, projects built on a professional, respectful relationship of understanding and clear communication are successful and rewarding for both the client and statistician.

My statistical analysis skills include (1) data cleaning, synthesis, and preparation, (2) experimental design, (3) regression and multivariate analysis, (4) longitudinal analysis, (5) mixed effects models, (6) time series analysis, (7) spatial analysis, (8) meta-analysis, (9) data mining, (10) machine learning, (11) exploratory data analysis, and (12) data visualization.

I am proficient in Microsoft Excel.  I primarily use R for statistical programming, but I do use Python when it is better suited for the project/task.  I am committed to producing high quality statistical analyses according to high standards of ethics.  No ghostwriting or unethical statistical practices.
