Statistical Consultant and Instructor

Kim is a workshop instructor for The Analysis Factor and owner/lead consultant at K.R. Love Quantitative Consulting and Collaboration.

She has worked as a statistical consultant and collaborator in multiple professional roles, most recently as the associate director of the University of Georgia Statistical Consulting Center.

Kim has more than a decade of professional and academic experience in the fields of regression and linear models, categorical data, generalized linear models, mixed effects models, nonlinear models, repeated measures, and experimental design. She has a B.A. in mathematics from the University of Virginia, and an M.S. and PhD in statistics from Virginia Tech.

While she enjoys working with all clients, Kim particularly enjoys working with those who feel they have a less-than-perfect relationship with statistics.

Her goal is to spread an appreciation of statistics across many fields of study, starting by making it understandable to those who interact with it.
