Bio
I am a professor of leadership and public affairs at Ohio University’s Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs. I work on grant-funded and contracted research in the domains of public health, education, and social services, for the most part. I teach introductory and advanced data analytics/visualization in our Master of Public Administration (MPA) programs (in all three formats the MPA is offered in), and have taught undergraduate and graduate statistics courses for Plant Biology, Economics, and Communication Studies. I tinker a lot with R and (increasingly) Python, learning their magic in the context of problems I am curious about.
Areas of Interest
- Data analytics and visualization
- Health
- Program evaluation
