I am a Data Scientist at the UK Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, working with the Data Analytics & Science Hub.
I earned my PhD at University of California Davis in the Environmental Policy specialization of the Ecology Graduate Group, with a designated emphasis in Computational Social Science. My research spans four areas: science in policymaking, innovation systems and networks, agri-environmental regulation, and innovation for the public good. Across these areas, I specialize in cases related to agri-food systems, ranging from agrobiodiversity management and organic certification to nitrogen policy.
This website includes workshops and tutorials in R that focus on computational and statistical topics. I am enthusiastic about teaching and publicly sharing code to promote data and statistical literacy, particularly for early learners.
