I am a PhD student in Biostatistics. I graduated from Harvard University in 2015 with a BA in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, and a Spanish language citation. After completing my undergraduate degree, I worked as a research associate at the Institute for Genomic Medicine at Columbia University Medical Center, supervised by David Goldstein, PhD and Andrew Allen, PhD. My research focused primarily on non-invasive prenatal testing and rare variant association testing.
Currently, my interests revolve around decision theory, missing data methodology, and statistical genetics. I am a research assistant on a forensic genetics project supervised by Dr. Bruce Weir, developing tools to evaluate genetic data as evidence in criminal proceedings or cases of disputed familiar relationships. Lately, I have also been collaborating with wildlife biologists attempting to combat elephant poaching using forensic genetic techniques.
In addition, I have been working with Dr. Lurdes Inoue and Dr. Mauricio Sadinle. With Dr. Inoue, I am exploring the connections between Bayesian and frequentist approaches to dynamic treatment regimes. In my work with Dr. Sadinle, I am interested in sensitivity analyses in the context of missing data.
Outside of school, I enjoy backpacking, skiing, music, baking, and spending time with my dog.
