ABOUT ME
Independent data visualization professional who loves code-first approaches
Independent data visualization professional who loves code-first approaches

Nice to meet you! I'm here to help you level up your R skills with my extensive experience in data science with R. I excel in data visualization with ggplot2, data wrangling with the tidyverse, and data communication with Quarto and Shiny—whether you need guidance on best practices, troubleshooting, or refining your data storytelling.

I’m a graduated computational ecologist with 15 years of coding experience. I’ve worked with various programming languages, but I’ve truly fallen in love with R and the tidyverse. As an independent data visualization professional, I combine my passion for coding with my drive to help others communicate insights effectively. I specialize in a code-first approach and enjoy teaching programming, particularly functional programming and data science with R, and data visualization with ggplot2 and related libraries. I love to share my knowledge by the means of open source sharing, tailored workshops, and 1:1 consulting to help others gain the skills they need to succeed.

As an independent data visualization specialist, I assist organizations, research teams, and businesses in effectively communicating insights through engaging graphical storytelling. I combine analytical research expertise with a passion for design, colors, and typography to craft compelling and meaningful data visualizations and develop efficient reporting workflows. Over the last years, I have taught thousands of participants–from researchers and physicians to developers to business analysts and managers–how to analyze and communicate data in a reproducible, efficient way by utilizing the R programing language with the versatile Quarto publication system and the popular tidyverse libraries.

hD candidate in the project entitled "Infection on the move: Individual host movement drives disease persistence in spatially structured landscapes" within the BioMove research training school. In the project I was investigating effects of host movement and landscape structure on disease dynamics using an individual-based, spatial-explicit modeling approach and statistical analyses of long-term data.
