About Me

I am currently a Statistical Research Scientist at Rho.

Previously, I worked as a Research Statistician Developer at SAS, where I implemented statistical functions as part of SAS IML (Interactive Matrix Language) software.

I completed a PhD in biostatistics at UNC-CH, under the guidance of Dr. Clarice Weinberg in the Biostatistics and Computational Biology Branch of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. My dissertation focused on methods to mine high-dimensional genetic data for higher-order gene-gene and gene-environment interactions using evolutionary computation.

Prior to UNC-CH, I graduated from Grinnell College in 2012 with a B.A. in Biology, and I earned a master’s degree in epidemiology and biostatistics in 2015 from Northwestern University. While at Northwestern, I also worked as a statistical analyst in the Department of Preventive Medicine and as a clinical research associate in the Department of Dermatology.
