I've built clinical, genomics, and public health data products at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, including survivorship, medulloblastoma, pharmacotyping, and variant-interpretation platforms. My work has supported pediatric cancer cohorts, clinical decision-making, and population-health programs at scale.

As a Computational Data Scientist, I defined product roadmaps for AI-enabled clinical and digital health platforms supporting over 30,000 beneficiary records. I led requirements across clinicians, researchers, engineers, and policymakers, improved reporting turnaround time by up to 95%, and helped align stakeholders around more than $5M in grant funding.

My foundation is in developmental biology, clinical genomics, and multi-omics analysis. I use Python, R, SQL, statistical modeling, machine learning, and scalable HPC workflows to turn sequencing, imaging, behavioral, and clinical data into usable tools and insights.

I'm also a science writer and editor who cares about making technical work understandable and useful. Through writing, teaching, mentorship, and community programs, I connect research with patient engagement, education, health equity, and real-world impact.
