Monica Beals

Before joining SAS, Monica Beals worked for nearly ten years as a biology laboratory instructor and lecturer for the University of Tennessee. Monica also had a two-year research assistantship at the university for a project funded by the National Science Foundation. The project was aimed at increasing undergraduate mathematical literacy. Monica earned a Master’s and a Ph.D. in ecology and evolutionary biology and a Master's in statistics from the University of Tennessee, as well as her Bachelor’s in biology from Earlham College.

Monica began using JMP in 2001 and joined SAS as a Statistical Training Specialist in July of 2007. In the future, she hopes to assist with developing training materials for JMP Genomics courses. In evaluations, students have stated that Monica is “knowledgeable and personable” and that she makes learning about JMP and statistics “fun.”

In her free time, Monica enjoys hiking in the woods with her two dogs, gourmet cooking, fishing and knitting. Born in Wisconsin, she has also lived in Iowa, California, Indiana, Oregon and Tennessee. Monica now calls North Carolina home.
