I collaborate with faculty, researchers and partners in multiple research projects where I conduct data cleaning, data analysis, data summarizing, visualization, statistical testing, statistical consulting and presentations. I am actively seeking employment or consultant opportunities where I can apply my skills to enhance the organization's goals as well as obtain experience in the field of statistics.
