I worked at Pfizer Pharmaceuticals from 2000 to 2007 before moving to consulting and teaching. Since 2009, I have taught introductory statistics and statistical computing at Columbia University. I have also taught at Yale University, UC Berkeley and NYU.

For over 14 years, I have mainly focused at the foundations of statistical education. My book grew out of a sustained and patient effort to teach challenging statistical concepts to the broader audience of students.

In 2018, the first edition of my titled “Statistics and the Media: Foundations in Statistical Thinking through Media Examples” was published with clear and concise explanations of statistical concepts through media and research examples.

In 2020, the second edition titled “Statistical Thinking through Media Examples” was published with additional statistical concepts explained, including more up-to-date media and research examples.

In 2022, the third edition was published capturing the first year of COVID through media and research examples at the intersection of public health and politics.

Besides teaching and writing, I enjoy cooking, reading, dancing, skating, listening to music and playing guitar. I live on the upper west side of Manhattan.
