My Background

I was born in New York, but spent most of my childhood in the suburbs of Chicago (go Cubs, go!).  I currently live in El Paso, TX. In my spare time I enjoy cooking and running (and collecting data on my running!). I'm a PhD Linguist who loves data and loves teaching others how to use it to answer questions.
