01 — About

Turning data
into better
health outcomes.

I'm a Statistics major with an Applied Data Science minor at Colorado State University, graduating in May 2026. My work sits at the intersection of statistical modeling and clearly communicated analyses.

My projects explore different aspects of analyzing healthcare data. Outside the classroom, I've led a 150+ member student organization and worked with diverse perspectives as a statistics tutor.
