About

I talk stats to non-statisticians in ways that actually make sense. I'm an experienced statistician with a demonstrated history of working in clinical trials, product development, biomedical research, and global health. I have extensive knowledge in trial design and analysis, vaccines, immunotherapeutics, infectious disease, randomization, and DMCs/DSMBs, not to mention several years' worth of Statistics, Quality Assurance, Statistical Programming, and Data Management oversight. I'm a problem solver, a challenge seeker, and someone who loves to think outside the box. A teacher at heart, one of my happy places is presenting statistical concepts and results, with the ultimate goal of helping others become stronger critical thinkers -- especially when it comes to understanding their own data.
