I am an Assistant Professor of Statistics in the Department of Quantitative Methods at Universidad de la República in Montevideo, Uruguay (UDELAR-IESTA). I earned my Ph.D. in Statistics from Iowa State University in July 2017, under the supervision of Di Cook and Heike Hofmann. My research interests include supervised learning methods, prediction, exploratory data analysis, statistical graphics, reproducible research, and meta-analysis.

I co-founded the Latinamerican Conference About the Use of R in R&D, (LatinR,https://latin-r.com), in 2018 and have been serving as co-chair of the event since then. Additionally, I co-founded R-Ladies Montevideo (RLadies_MVD and The R User Group in Montevideo, known as GURU. Most of the courses I teach involve coding in R at various levels. If you want to know more about the R community across Latin America, check R Fordwards post: http://forwards.github.io/blog/2018/02/05/r-in-latin-america/. During my Ph.D. at ISU, I also co-founded R-Ladies-Ames.
