Message

At Rutgers Cancer Institute, I led startup and implementation of a gastrointestinal cancer research study, coordinating recruitment, timelines, milestones, and deliverables. I designed patient preference surveys using BWS, DCEs, and thresholding to examine choices around optional upper endoscopy, and contributed SAS analyses and manuscript work.

In my current doctoral research at National University, I study cannabis use, adverse-event burden, and quality of life among patients with gastrointestinal cancers, using validated patient-reported measures and R analyses. I also project-managed onboarding and quality follow-up for oncology research personnel at Rutgers Cancer Institute, and advised Themison on clinical trial workflows and responsible AI-supported improvements.
