Overview: Emma talks about her jouRney from teaching herself R as a student to using it at work and delving into data journalism using R. She makes the case for tapping into the R community and sharing your work publicly, and shares some examples of where this has taken her, including her viral maps on the NZ housing market.

Emma's Bio: Emma Vitz is an actuarial analyst working as a consultant in the insurance industry. She also dabbles in some data journalism on the side. Emma is particularly interested in social inequity, climate risk and natural disasters, and enjoys using R across all of her work.
