Bio:

I am a second-year M.S. student in Biostatistics at UCLA. Before coming to UCLA, I studied Statistics and Economics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. My academic interests include biostatistics, genetics, neuroimaging, and women’s health research, and I am especially interested in using data to better understand complex health-related questions. I enjoy learning how statistical methods can be applied to real-world medical and public health problems, particularly in areas related to brain health and disease outcomes. Outside of academics, I enjoy traveling, exploring cafés, and taking my dog on little adventures to different parks.
