I teach “Modeling for Inference” which focuses on accurate and meaningful story telling with data science. Gone are the days with simple hypothesis tests and the over reliance on p-values. The Modeling for Inference course is a comprehensive and holistic statistical modeling course focusing on methods students can adapt and use to answer their own hypotheses.

2017 - 2018In addition to diligently supporting clients with statistical analysis and programming, I successfully taught an “Introduction to R” course to undergraduate and graduate students with no programming background. The Introduction to R course is heavily based on data science and encompasses basic R programming up to the level of creating your very own R package.2014 - 2015I thoughtfully consulted clients which resulted in appropriate utilization of power analysis, regression analysis, structural equations modeling, and meta-analysis. I have also effectively taught and problem solved various issues regarding statistical programs and database query languages such as SAS, R, SPSS and SQL with clients.

I led research design and data analysis efforts for randomized wait-list clinical trials involving children diagnosed with various behavior difficulties. I also closely collaborated with researchers and created a scalable database system that is convenient for effective data cleaning as well as the remedial of missing and sparse data.

SAS Short Course, Econometrics of Financial MarketsI thoroughly assisted graduate students with SAS statistical software and statistical reasoning, while troubleshooting and problem solving within SAS in real time.

Mississauga, Canada

I led project management efforts in research administration, as well as literature review, study design, data collection and analysis for a systematic evaluation of various clinical interventions. I also productively recruited cohorts of participants for studies and collected participants’ data via face to face and the telephone to ensure a minimal dropout rate.
