Welcome

I’ve always been into numbers, technology and problem-solving, whether in bookkeeping, grant writing, social network research, music, sculpture or arts administration.

Since 2021, I’ve been developing technical data skills in Python, R, SQL, Tableau and Excel – and a little in NVivo and Power BI. I was a successful applicant to the Victorian Digital Jobs Program, which gave me 12 weeks training at RMIT Online, followed by a 12-week placement at KPMG in their Policy, Economics and Public Impact group, where I contributed data solutions on a range of projects for my team.

I’ve just completed my Grad Cert of Data Science at RMIT Online (June 2023), utilising Python (Jupyter Notebook) and R (RStudio).

Here you’ll find examples of my projects:

• Python – data wrangling and analysis, visualisation, presentation and forecasting
• R – data wrangling and analysis, statistical theory and methods, machine learning, linear regression and forecasting
• Shiny app – interactive web app built with R
• Tableau – interactive visualisations of sales reports/forecasting, investment advice, government cultural funding and Spotify metrics
• ML/AI – machine learning for spam classification and a Python script to access ChatGPT and DALL-E 2 in Jupyter Notebook
• Presentation – examples of telling data stories, presenting A/B testing results and a text analysis of two 17th century plays
• Other – use of SQL, Excel, Gephi and Survey Monkey for projects such as mock and real sales dashboards), research and advocacy

And of course, this Github-hosted website is an example of me working in R Markdown (and learning a little CSS along the way).

Thanks for having a look around – get in touch and let’s chat data!
