I’m a (bio)statistician/data scientist(/whatever you want to call it) working in aging, clinical trials and drug development.

I have been doing applied statistics for almost a decade now (yeesh time flies), covering a variety of areas like, epidemiology, occupational health, circadian rhythms, actigraphy, depression & substance use.

Right now, my statistical interests include: everything Rstats, longitudinal data analysis, simulation-based power analysis, and survival analysis.

I’m also a mom of twins 👯‍♂️ who loves horror movies 🎥 and is currently obsessed with Skyrim 🧙.

Statistical programming: R (expert), Python (proficient), SAS (trained in, but rarely use)
Statistical methods: Longitudinal data analysis, study design & power, survival analysis, unsupervised learning
