What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply rigorous research and analysis to biological or program data, collaborate across teams, improve data systems, and communicate findings to influence policy and operations.

I am a PhD-trained research and data scientist with deep quantitative skills in biological and operational data analysis, focused on delivering clear, reproducible results that inform policy and program decisions.

My experience spans extracting, cleaning, validating, and analyzing large genomic, geographic, ecological, and operational datasets, building standardized documentation and quality-control practices, and producing reports and visualizations for diverse stakeholders.

I collaborate across scientific, operational, and leadership teams, translate complex analyses for nontechnical audiences, and design processes that improve data accessibility, reduce errors, and support scalable decision-making.
