I am a data scientist and engineering manager atPosit PBC where I work on tools for data science likePositron,vetiver, and others. My last name is pronounced SILL-GHEE (two syllables, shorti, hardg). I love making beautiful charts, the statistical programming language R, Jane Austen, black coffee, and red wine.

In school, I studied physics and astronomy; I worked in academia (teaching and doing research) and ed tech before moving into data science in 2015 and discovering R. I am an author, an international speaker, and a real-world practitioner focusing on data analysis and machine learning. I have written books with my collaborators abouttext mining,supervised machine learning for text, andmodeling with tidy data principles in R.

I live in Salt Lake City, UT, with my husband, three kids, and two cats.
