Message

At UCLA Integrated Substance Use and Addiction Programs, I analyze large healthcare datasets for research papers, stakeholder reports, and conference presentations. I’ve led and authored data analysis sections for statewide reports and co-authored research papers on substance use treatment.

I also created data manuals to support consistent handling and evaluation of updating datasets, and built statistical models to examine healthcare trends. Earlier, at National Center for Health Research, I reviewed health research and medical device topics using SAS and R to inform public comments and health resources.
