I am a biological anthropologist and biomechanist with a background in design. I became very interested in data science during my PhD, where I worked as a statistical consultant for a Data Analytics group at my university for a few years. I have also done freelance/contract data science work for research labs at my university.

I am interested in combining my skills in scientific research, data science, and design/visualization to work on meaningful projects with real-world impacts. I am hoping to improve my data science skills and explore data science applications outside of academia.
