I am Assistant Professor of the Practice of Statistical Science at Duke University. Prior to my faculty appointment at Duke, I earned a PhD in biostatistics at the University of North Carolina under Jason Fine and Shanshan Zhao. I have a deep passion for statistical education and promotion of statistical and quantitative literacy and am the 2021-2022 recipient of the student-nominated, student-selected Alumni Distinguished Undergraduate Teaching Award. My applied research collaborations are primarily in gastroenterology and hepatology.
In my free time I enjoy playing music (and have a few papers related to that topic as well!). The photo in my website header was taken by me at sunrise somewhere on a ridge in the White Mountains in New Hampshire.
