About

Hello! I am Chantel, and I am a data scientist with research interests spanning health (particularly mental health), justice and equality, spatial data/ GIS, and ecology and biodiversity. When I am not building data projects, I create nature-friendly gardens, grow food with my local community, and enjoy mountain-biking and weight-lifting with my husband and primary cheerleader. See his website here: www.garvinsealy.com.

After graduating with a second MSc on the subject of Health Data Science with the University of Aberdeen (November 2023), I recently started working as an NIHR HDRC Data Scientist for Bradford Council. Currently I am developing an area of work that investigates the effect of physical environment and access to food on mental health, incorporating community engagement and data to policy pipelines.

If you like what you see and might like to work with me, please contact me or find me on Mastodon.

Programming and scripting languages

I love programming and coding, and delve into different languages as needed depending on the project. I use a LAMP (Linux-Apache2-MySQL-PHP) stack for local development.

R/ RStudio - statistical programming, quantitative work, dashboards and storyboards
SQL (MS Access, Oracle, MySQL, SQLite)
phpMyAdmin (for MySQL queries and managing Wordpress)
Python (to PCEP) - text extraction and qualitative work
Bash (I am a long-time Linux-user) - system administration
HTML5
CSS3
A little bit of Javascript for the extra flourish
