Research Scientist at Kaiser Permanente Division of Research
I am a Research Scientist I/Biostatistician at Kaiser Permanente Northern California’s Division of Research, where I provide expertise in study design and statistical methods as part of multidisciplinary research teams. My interests also include statistical software, computational algorithms, and data science education. Formerly, I was a senior biostatistician at the Quantitative Sciences Unit, located in the Stanford University School of Medicine.
I earned my PhD in biostatistics from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health’s Department of Biostatistics. My dissertation focused on statistical methodology and software development for clinical risk assessment in panel gene testing. Prior to grad school, I worked as a scientific programmer at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, Department of Preventive Medicine, Division of Biostatistics. I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I received my bachelor’s degree in statistics from UC Berkeley. In my spare time, I like to read books, consume hot beverages, and play with other people’s pets.
