Scholar Description

I graduated from Colorado State University with a bachelor’s degree in biology. I initially came to PREP to study epidemiology but then realized that I loved the statistics part of the work a lot more. My current research focuses on analyzing BCSC (Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium) data to help improve current mammography techniques used for screening women with potential breast cancers. On my off time I enjoy building PCs, investing in stocks and crypto, reviewing music, working out, drawing, gaming, raising my hamster, and going out with my wife.
