Message

At Emory University, I designed and executed eight observational and real-world data studies, from research questions and protocols through analysis and manuscripts. This work included analyzing approximately 230,000 records from national survey and real-world data sources.

I authored study protocols and statistical analysis plans using methods including Bayesian hierarchical modeling and quantitative bias analysis. Earlier, at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, I coordinated observational studies of clinical outcomes and contributed to regulatory documentation for a multicenter trial.
