Julia Silge

My background in the physical sciences and programming has given me the tools to apply sophisticated analytical techniques to complicated problems. I am a data scientist and analyst with an understanding of mathematics and statistical models. Analyzing, understanding, and communicating about data makes me happy and I am passionate about finding insights in data and building data products to meet the needs of an organization. I come from a background in physics and astronomy and have worked in academia and ed tech before moving into data science. My experience in the physical sciences and education has given me a solid foundation for using data to answer interesting questions, and then communicating those findings to decision makers. I work effectively in both independent and collaborative environments, I learn new skills and subjects quickly, and I have proven writing and speaking abilities.
