What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth in the healthcare analytics field.

I am a results-driven Data Scientist with a strong foundation in microbiology and healthcare operations. My expertise lies in data migration, analysis, machine learning, and genomics, all aimed at enhancing patient care and improving operational efficiency. I have a proven track record in legislative analytical compliance, utilizing advanced modeling and investigative analytics to support informed decision-making in healthcare.

Throughout my academic and professional journey, I have developed a comprehensive skill set that includes advanced statistical analysis, machine learning techniques, and proficiency in programming languages such as Python and R. My project highlights include developing a predictive model for private well water quality and leading analyses of HIV diagnosis rates, showcasing my ability to translate complex data into actionable insights for targeted interventions.

Currently, as a Senior Research and Data Analyst at the Missouri Department of Cannabis Regulation, I lead financial and investigative analyses, ensuring regulatory compliance and data transparency. My commitment to applying advanced analytical skills drives my passion for improving healthcare outcomes through evidence-based decision-making.
