About Me

👋 Hi, I’m Melissa (🌈she/her)

It’s nice to meet you!

I’m an accredited Associate Statistician (A. Stat.) and a Senior Data Analyst at Statistics Canada. I completed my M. Sc. in Statistics at Carleton University (2021), and my B. Sc. H. in Mathematics and Computing Systems with a Specialization in Statistics at Trent University (2019).

I’m passionate about all things Data Science and Teaching (and especially where those two things interact!). I make educational YouTube videos in my spare time (under the name “ggnot2”), covering topics such as R programming and Machine Learning.

I’m a co-organizer for the R-Ladies Ottawa chapter. If you’re a gender minority interested in R or open source and you’re in the Ottawa area, join us!

You can find me on my website YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter and GitHub.
