I'm a Biostatistician and Statistical Programmer with a Master's degree in Biostatistics from Duke University. I also attended the PhD program in Biostatistics at UNC Chapel Hill for four semesters, and my undergraduate studies at Salisbury University span Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Statistics.

I currently work at a contract research organization supporting clinical research of infectious diseases, and I'm looking to grow into biotechnology or medical device roles. I'm passionate about advancing public health and communicating statistical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences.
