Elliot Kennedy
A recent M.S. graduate in Statistics and Data Science with strong expertise in machine learning, data analysis, and statistical modeling. I am highly proficient in data quality control, harmonization, and QA/QC processes with a focus on environmental and climate research. Currently, I am seeking entry- to mid-level data scientist or analyst roles in Seattle, WA or remotely. I enjoy hiking in the Coconino National Forest, catching up on seasonal shows, and seeking out the best spots to watch the sunset.
