I am a Research Associate in the Public Health Practice at Westat, a research institute dedicated to improving lives. I provide data support for the NIEHS Sister Study, a prospective cohort study of environmental and genetic risk factors for breast cancer and other diseases among 50,884 sisters of women who have had breast cancer. My expertise involves using SAS programming to: 1) process data requests, 2) create analytic datasets, and 3) develop study documentation. I have experience working with the residential history data and using geocodes to link external environmental data (e.g., air pollution, the social vulnerability index, PRISM heat metrics) to those residences.
