Hi, I’m Whitney, the creator behind Dr. Data Teaches! I’m a former college math professor, a practicing data scientist, and a lifelong math person who loves making complex ideas feel clear, organized, and approachable.
I have a PhD in Statistics, degrees in Mathematics and Math Education, and years of experience teaching math at the college level. Today, I work as a data scientist, where I use statistics, modeling, and data analysis in real-world problem solving every day.
Dr. Data Teaches combines my classroom teaching background with my professional data science experience to create math resources that are accurate, student-friendly, and easy for busy teachers to use.
My goal is to help students build confidence with math vocabulary, statistics concepts, data displays, and problem-solving skills — without overwhelming them or adding extra prep for teachers.
