Hi, I’m Jayde!
I have always loved consuming stories and solving puzzles. Unfortunately, neither of those pay my dog’s dermatology bills or the rent. As a data analyst, I get to answer puzzling questions using data and tell stories!
I currently work as a Statistical Data Analyst at Washington University in St. Louis. In my role, I bridge knowledge and access gaps, inform operations to support graduate student well-being and success, and foster curiosity in others. I consistently strive for accuracy, accessibility, and sustainability while adhering to one of my core values: authenticity.🎉
When I’m not working, running, or reading, I’m doing something with birds: either birding in Missouri or volunteering feeding orphaned and injured baby birds at Wild Bird Rehabilitation.
You’re probably here because you want to know more about what I’m up to. You can head over to my Projects for a quick overview of my academic projects and check out my blog, where I play around with fun data, explain parts of my process, and answer questions about things I’m personally interested in. You might learn something about my hobbies, random questions I have, dogs, or a cool package in R. Have fun exploring and don’t hesitate to reach out with questions or gentle critiques.
