About Kim

Hello! I'm Dr. Kim Love. I am the owner and lead collaborator here at K. R. Love Quantitative Consulting and Collaboration. I earned a B.A. in mathematics (2003) from the University of Virginia, and an M.S. (2004) and Ph.D. (2007) in statistics from Virginia Tech. After 2007 I worked as a statistical consultant and collaborator in multiple professional roles, including as the associate director of the University of Georgia Statistical Consulting Center. During my five and a half years there, I provided statistical assistance for roughly 180 clients per year, in addition to training statistics graduate students to become confident and effective collaborative statisticians. I am also active in the American Statistical Association, and have served in several official leadership roles in the Section on Statistical Consulting.
I am a generalist at heart, and enjoy applying my technical skills to a wide variety of subjects. That said, my current areas of specialization include nursing and health sciences (both human and veterinary), as well as social sciences and agricultural sciences. While I enjoy working with clients at all levels, I particularly enjoy working with those who feel they have a less-than-perfect relationship with statistics. My goal is to help make data and statistics approachable, understandable, and even enjoyable. When researchers, business professionals, and policy makers feel confident engaging with data, they can perform more productive research, tell better stories, and make more informed decisions.
My statistical expertise includes regression and linear models, categorical data, generalized linear models, mixed effects models, nonlinear models, repeated measures, and experimental design, but I have experience in a variety of other areas as well. You can find a recent copy of my CV here, which includes co-authored papers and conference presentations.
Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions.
