I am an assistant professor in the School of Data Science and Society at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, with a joint appointment in the Department of Biostatistics at the Gillings School of Global Public Health. My research is currently funded by a K99/R00 grant through the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Mental Health.

Previously, I was postdoctoral research associate in biostatistics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as part of Dr. Michael Kosorok’s precision health and AI research lab. I earned my doctorate in biostatistics at the University of California, Berkeley under the primary mentorship of Dr. Maya Petersen. My doctorate was funded by an F31 grant I was awarded from the National Institutes of Health/National Institute on Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Prior to this, I was a full-time research assistant at the Laboratories of Cognitive Neuroscience at Boston Children’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School. I earned my bachelor’s degree at Johns Hopkins University, graduating with a major in psychology and minor in applied mathematics and statistics.
