Greater Atlanta Area

The Summer Institute for Training in Biostatistics (SIBS) was essentially a crash-course in biostatistical practice. Included was advanced hypothesis testing and regression methods using datasets provided by the CDC in Atlanta, and presenting results of case studies to non-mathematical crowds.

Walla Walla, Wa

I cleaned and analyzed 6+ years of panel data on crime and staffing in national parks using statistical regression. The purpose of the research was to test the deterrence hypothesis, which is the idea that an increase in police staffing or an increase in the probability of arrest will lead to a decrease in crime.

Walla Walla, Wa

As a lifeguard at Whitman College, I was responsible for maintaining patron safety and the cleanliness of the facility.

Walla Walla, Wa

My main responsibility was preparing myself quickly for bi-monthly concerts involving famous classical compositions.

Greater Seattle Area

I entered large datasets to be used in HAZUS earthquake simulation models. After the simulations, I analyzed the results to help advise the City of Seattle on a potential project involving the retrofitting of unreinforced masonry buildings in the greater Seattle area.

Doctor Of Philosophy - Phd, Biostatistics

My PhD focused on statistical methods for meta-analysis. The title of my dissertation was "Bayesian Meta-analysis Methods for Improving.
