Brookline, Massachusetts, United States
I design, build, and apply measurement and data systems that engage meaningfully with the complexity of mental health, swallowing disorders, and other biomedical challenges. My work spans psychometric scale validation, the development of clinical decision-making tools, and mixed-methods research in emerging areas like psychedelic therapy. Across these projects, I focus on creating systems that balance statistical rigor with interpretability, ensuring that data informs real decisions without erasing the nuance of human experience. I thrive in collaborative, flexible roles where I can partner with clinicians, researchers, and other stakeholders to bridge measurement, meaning, and impact.
Focus: Measurement science, collaborative statistics, and clinical data modeling in Communication Sciences and Disorders - Leading analyses of complex clinical datasets to extract actionable insights for research in swallowing and neurorehabilitation - Supporting interdisciplinary collaborations through applied expertise in study design, statistical modeling, and measurement theory - Developing and refining tools for clinical decision-making, with a focus on rigor, interpretability, and translational value
- Contributed to both quantitative and qualitative arms of a mixed-methods study investigating somatic experience during therapeutic psychedelic sessions - Co-lead study design, analysis planning, and interpretation in close collaboration with the lead researcher - Helped develop a coding framework for qualitative data to explore phenomenological dimensions of somatic experience - Applied statistical methods to complement and contextualize qualitative insights, with an eye toward the eventual development of a a standardized psychometric scale for somatic experiences
- Designed, programmed, and communicated results to Gastroenterology investigators for a hierarchical linear regression of an open-label trial aimed at identifying trajectories of patient reported outcomes
