Hello, I am the creator of this website! I hold a master's degree in applied statistics from the University of South Carolina, and another master's degree in general psychology from Nova Southeastern University. I currently work as a statistician at the Medical University of South Carolina. My research centers around the lives of people living with physical disabilities (primarily spinal cord injury). We employ a wide variety of statistical methods to address the issues that concern people living with long-term disability including employment, aging, and health-related outcomes. In addition to my regular job, I make R programming YouTube videos that are based on this website’s content.
