Biography
I just finished my master's in Statistical Science at Duke University, specializing in designing novel statistical methods for microbiome data in cancer patients. I have four previous years of industry experience as an empirical researcher in biostatistics, litigation economics, and baseball analytics, as well as multiple years of teaching and coordinating applied statistics and statistical programming courses.
I received my bachelor's degree in Quantitative Economics and Mathematics (minor of Computer Science) from Tufts University, where I had the opportunity to gain an interdisciplinary exposure to statistical modeling through the economics, math, and computer science departments.
