I’m excited to share that my Posit::conf talk is now live on YouTube! 🎥

👉 Watch here https://youtu.be/RxwU1cZ5FiA?si=ujfY9h4zSdTBxVdo

It’s been an incredible exploring reproducible design in R and bringing history to life through data.
Grateful to the Posit PBC team and everyone who supported this work! 💜

Wrapped up my very first presentation at #positconf2025 🎤✨
Nerves, excitement, and so much joy.
What made it unforgettable was finally meeting people I’ve only known online until now.
Grateful for the community, connections, and the chance to share my work. 🚀

✨ What a week at #RSECon25 at the University of Warwick! ✨

I got to meet and connect with three communities close to my heart:
💜 #RLadies
💻 #RSEng
📚 #TheCarpentries

This year I wasn’t just attending—I also volunteered 🪄. Such a joy to give back and be part of the buzz.

Next year it’s #RSECon26 in Sheffield 🎉 — who’s coming? Drop a 🐧 if you’ll be there!
