I serve as the Data Services Librarian in the Newman Library. My focus is to provide data-related research support, which includes the access, visualization, and analysis of data. I specialize in data cleaning techniques, webscraping, and dashboard visualizations with tools such as Python/R, Tableau, and Excel.
