With a strong foundation in both the natural sciences and the digital realm, I am a versatile bioinformatics analyst committed to leveraging data to unravel complex biological questions. My academic journey, culminating in a Master of Science in Bioinformatics from Northeastern University, has equipped me with a robust toolkit encompassing machine learning, statistics, and advanced data analysis techniques.My research has focused on understanding health disparities, particularly in cancer diagnosis between rural and urban populations. I have also delved into the intriguing world of viral evolution and its potential implications for human health. Prior to my academic pursuits, I honed my problem-solving and project management skills through seven years of hands-on experience in carpentry and boatbuilding.I am proficient in a range of programming languages and tools, including R, Python, SQL, and cloud computing platforms. Beyond technical expertise, I possess a strong ability to communicate complex scientific findings to both technical and non-technical audiences.When not immersed in data analysis, I enjoy sailing the Maine coast, woodworking, and contributing to the skateboarding community through my involvement with the Maine Skateboard Association.Key Skills: Bioinformatics, Data Analysis, Machine Learning, Statistics, R, Python, SQL, Cloud Computing, Communication, Problem-Solving
