Title A Day in the Life of a Statistical Consultant
Abstract

Kelly Statistical Consulting, founded in 2009, has served local, national and international clients for over 15 years. This talk offers a glimpse into the dynamic and diverse work of a statistical consultant. The day-to-day activities range from team meetings to discuss project objectives to analyzing complex datasets and developing statistical models. Consultants tackle a range of intellectual challenges, working collaboratively to solve problems. We will discuss how our team ensures accurate results, balances multiple projects, communicates findings to various audiences, and keeps up with the latest programming and statistical techniques. Two example projects will be presented to illustrate the diversity of statistical applications. Additionally, we will share our opinions on required job skills and the best and most challenging aspects of our jobs.
