Hi everyone! My name is Karle and I'm one of the stat 100 instructors. I've always loved math, statistics, and education. Teaching stat 100 is the perfect job for me since I can help students from many different majors gain an appreciation for all 3.

A few other things about me: I'm a huge Illini fan- I went to school at UIUC, met my husband at UIUC, and now I work here. U of I is one of my favorite places in the world! I also enjoy spending time outside, playing piano, water skiing, snow skiing, and traveling.

Hey folks! I'm Kelly Findley, and I'll be the STAT 100 instructor for the 10am class this semester. I have a Masters degree in Statistics and a PhD in Curriculum and Instruction because I really enjoy finding creative ways to teach statistics.

I'm new to UIUC this year, as I just graduated from Florida State University last Spring. But I love the snow and I love the seasons! In addition to teaching, I also enjoy playing the piano, playing board games, reading, and spending time with my chunky black cat, Hallow.

I am from the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago and attended William Fremd High School in Palatine. I TA for STAT 100 because it is the first statistics class I took in my life and I enjoyed it a great deal. This course propelled me to eventually major and pursue a Masters in the field. I hope to teach other's STAT 100 so that they enjoy the class as much as I did and come away with as much practical knowledge as possible.. I really like playing basketball in my free time, but I'm always down to play/watch almost any sport. I enjoy being outside and enjoying the weather when it is nice out. When it is raining I enjoy watching shows and movies.
