I hold a degree in Statistics from Lock Haven University. My passion lies in unraveling the complexities of data and making sense of statistical trends. With a solid academic foundation, I strive to demystify statistical concepts for my students, fostering a deeper understanding of the subject. I believe in creating a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to ask questions and explore statistical principles with confidence. Let's embark on this statistical journey together, turning numbers into insights.
