Applied & Academic Projects
My projects reflect my experience applying epidemiologic, statistical, and analytical methods to public health and healthcare challenges. They include healthcare data visualization, study design, quantitative analysis, and research focused on disease prevention and disparities.
For my MPH practicum, I developed interactive dashboards using Amazon QuickSight and SQL Server to visualize patient demographics and hospital encounters for clinical partners of Rio Grande Valley Health Information Exchange.
The dashboards help healthcare providers monitor hospital utilization, identify patients who may need follow-up, and support care coordination efforts.
For my MPH Epidemiology capstone, I am developing a proposed pharmacist-led intervention to reduce high-risk oral NSAID use among underserved adults with pre-existing chronic kidney disease in Frederick County, Virginia.
The project incorporates epidemiologic evidence, a prospective cluster-randomized study design, and a focus on medication safety, healthcare access, and prevention.
For my Intermediate Biostatistics final project, I used multivariable linear regression to identify factors associated with infant birthweight, with particular attention to factors associated with lower birthweight.
I completed the analysis in Stata, evaluated model assumptions and diagnostics, interpreted adjusted associations, and presented the analysis in a report organized into Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion sections.
View Project →For my Introduction to Biostatistics final project, I analyzed a simulated dataset based on a randomized clinical trial comparing D-penicillamine treatment with placebo among patients with primary biliary cirrhosis.
I used Stata to summarize participant characteristics, compare clinical and biochemical measures, examine differences across histologic disease stages, and fit linear regression models.
View Project →For my Field Epidemiology course, I worked with two classmates to develop a Manual of Procedures for a proposed study evaluating the association between C-reactive protein levels and anxiety among adult women residing in Houston.
Our team developed a comprehensive Manual of Procedures, including protocols for participant recruitment, field data collection, biospecimen handling, quality control, staff responsibilities, and standardized documentation.
View Project →For my Epidemiologic Methods in Population Health Differences course, I developed a presentation focused on the co-occurrence of mental health and chronic physical conditions among Asian Americans.
Using a social determinants of health approach, I described the population and health disparity, reviewed factors that may contribute to the disparity, identified gaps in the literature, and developed recommendations for future research.
View Project →This portfolio includes completed academic projects and ongoing work. Additional project summaries, visualizations, and supporting materials will be added as they are finalized and reviewed for appropriate public sharing. Simulated data and proposed study designs are identified accordingly where applicable.
