👋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 YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn, and GitHub. If you’d like to connect, please message me on LinkedIn or use the “Contact” form on my website. I try my best to reply as quickly as possible, but I’ll always aim to get back to you within a week.

For those curious: I love Quarto and I love Quarto websites (and you can find my creations on Quarto Pub), but I made this website using Squarespace.
