More About Me?

Whelp. I won't disappoint. One of the reasons I love teaching stats is that I have a ton of experience in the field. I know that some instructors teach statistics like a math class, but it’s really closer to a science (and at times an art) in how it is actually used.

I received a B.A. in Mathematics from UCSD, mostly because I didn’t know what I wanted to do, but I loved math. After a year off, I decided to go back to school for a Masters in Statistics at SDSU assuming that statistics was just applied math that someone would give me a job for. I was wrong, but I also loved statistics and after graduating with an M.S., I decided to apply for Ph.D. program in Computational Statistics that was a joint program with SDSU and Claremont Graduate University. I did 6 years of coursework and have someone stalled out on my dissertation because I can’t balance doing work for my students and my own student work!
