Biography

I’m a statistician by trade, currently pursuing a PhD and Oregon State University. Under the supervision of Rob Trangucci and Lisa Madsen, our research involves the use of selection-model methodology to make spatio-temporal epidemiology models robust to MNAR data.

I work as a statistical consultant for OSU grad students, which has really fueled my passion for effective communication/education in statistics. Consulting is one of my responsibilities as the teaching assistant for our department’s consulting practicum course; but, I also get to advise other statisticians in their own consulting projects and develop course materials for them to use.

Although I like to clear my head by hiking or rock climbing, I spend a lot of my free time playing strategy games and building with LEGO.
