About

I hold an MS in Biostatistics and a BS in Mathematics, through which I learned not only a passion for math and statistics, but also for teaching and distribution of knowledge. I have translated this into a career of performing statistical analyses and developing approachable visualizations and tools so that all users, no matter their technical background, can understand and utilize the insights we get from data. On a personal level: I am always happy to give an impromptu statistical lesson, from peers to my own mother, because I truly believe that everyone can understand these subjects, it's just a matter of finding the right presentation. On a professional level: I am always seeking out innovative ways of adding value using data and statistical techniques to answer key questions or resolve critical pain points. Then, creating scalable solutions for internal and external stakeholders.
