About me

I am a biostatistician of 2+ years at a cancer institute and with over 13 years of data analysis experience. If you need support with study design, database building and management, data analysis, and dissemination of findings, please reach out to me via email or set up a meeting with me through Upwork. I would love to hear from you and assist you. My go-to tool is R (RStudio), where I have the most experience in data wrangling (cleaning, parsing, transforming), data analysis, simulations (Monte Carlo), and data visualization. I tend to gravitate towards Bayesian methods, which allows for more compelling narratives.
