I am a Biostatistician at Cincinnati Children's Hospital, specializing in biostatistics and bioinformatics within the Bone Marrow Transplant department. My diverse background, from serving as a KC-130J Crew Chief in the Marine Corps to conducting astrophysics research, has equipped me with a unique perspective on complex problem-solving and effective communication.My research on white dwarf star clusters involved using Bayesian statistics and Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods to analyze photometric data, aiming to uncover insights into the formation of the Milky Way. This experience ignited my passion for statistics and computer science. Transitioning to healthcare, I pursued a graduate degree in Radiological Medical Physics, where I combined my love for physics and mathematics with a commitment to improving patient outcomes. My role as an EMT reinforced the importance of detail-oriented decision-making, which I now apply in my work to enhance diagnostic speed and treatment strategies for patients undergoing bone marrow transplants.As the sole bioinformatician in my department, I am dedicated to expanding our capabilities in multi-omics analysis and leading future initiatives. I am particularly interested in onco-genomics, cancer epigenomics and transcriptomics, and I strive to leverage data to drive meaningful advancements in pediatric healthcare.Aside from my professional background, I am actively engaged in studying financial markets and have a strong interest in micro and macroeconomic trends. I enjoy swing trading as a hobby using both technical and fundamental analysis, where I apply my understanding of market movements and economic indicators. My continuous learning in this area keeps me updated on economic dynamics and enhances my analytical skills.
Listed skills include Physics, Military Training, Military Aviation, Aircraft, and 7 others.
