My Background
I am completing an MPH in Epidemiology and a Data Science Certificate at UTHealth Houston School of Public Health. I also hold an MS in Biology, with a concentration in Translational and Clinical Research, and a BS in Chemistry with a minor in Biology.
My professional background spans pharmacy, clinical laboratory testing, biomedical research, and public health informatics. Working across these fields has strengthened my scientific and analytical skills while giving me a broader perspective on healthcare, research, and the factors that influence health outcomes.
What Interests Me
My interests include applied epidemiology, disease prevention, healthcare analytics, health equity, and public health informatics. I'm particularly interested in understanding how biological, social, and healthcare-related factors influence disease risk, access to care, and health outcomes.
I enjoy investigating health-related questions, identifying patterns, and using research and data to better understand complex problems. I'm especially drawn to work that helps identify health disparities and inform evidence-based strategies to improve individual and population health.
How I Approach My Work
I approach research and data analysis with curiosity, attention to detail, and an emphasis on accuracy. I enjoy breaking down complex problems, exploring different explanations, and making sure findings are clearly communicated and supported by evidence.
I am continuing to develop my technical skills in R, Stata, SQL, Python, and data visualization. My focus is on applying these tools thoughtfully to answer meaningful questions, identify opportunities for prevention, and support informed decisions in healthcare and public health.
