Emily H. Griffith
Emily Griffith took statistics in high school to avoid taking a “real” math class. Unfortunately for her plan to avoid math, she fell in love with statistics and ended up finishing college with a degree in statistics and a minor in math. She eventually earned her PhD, completed a postdoc at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, and then worked as a survey statistician for the FBI. She was recently named director of the North Carolina State University’s Statistical Consulting Core.
