I combine extensive statistical experience with a relaxed, collaborative interaction style. With over 15 years experience as a statistician, I am familiar with modern statistical methods, as well as methods popular in data science. I have experience at top universities, and in industry, so I know how to meet the needs of a variety of clients. I am a data cleaning and management expert. I am highly proficient at developing custom programming solutions in Stata’s scripting and matrix programming languages. I also have experience with Mplus, SAS, SPSS, R, and Python. My methodological specialties include: - Complex regression models - Generalized linear models (e.g. logistic regression, Poisson models) - Analysis of longitudinal/multilevel data - Structural equation models - Clustering methods (latent class analysis and cluster analysis) - Methods for analyzing data with missing values (e.g. multiple imputation, FIML) Because each project and collaboration is unique, my approach to working with clients is flexible. Some examples of the services I offer are: - Create custom code to automate routine data management and reporting - Provide advice on data collection and research design - Implement statistical analysis plans - Author reports for a variety of technical and non-technical audiences - Perform complex data management tasks - Implement methods not available in existing software - Meet with you regularly to answer questions that come up in the research process

I am an epidemiologist and biostatistician with over five years of applied experience conducting statistical analyses for clinical, public health, and health services research. I currently work full-time as a biostatistician at UCLA Health, supporting physician-led and investigator-initiated studies across multiple medical specialties. My training includes an MPH, an MS in Data Analytics, and formal graduate-level coursework in biostatistics and epidemiologic methods. I specialize in the design, analysis, and interpretation of observational and clinical data, with particular strength in causal inference, regression modeling, and large-scale healthcare datasets. I have extensive experience working with electronic health records and claims data (including longitudinal, high-dimensional datasets), and I routinely translate complex statistical results into clear, decision-relevant outputs for clinicians and research teams. Technical expertise includes: - Statistical modeling: logistic, linear, Cox and competing risks models, mixed-effects models, generalized estimating equations - Causal and quasi-experimental methods: propensity scores (matching/weighting), difference-in-differences, instrumental variables, regression discontinuity - Study design and power/sample size calculations - Machine learning for prediction (with an emphasis on interpretability) - Reproducible analysis pipelines and reporting Tools: SAS (Base and Advanced 9.4 certified), R, Python, SQL I frequently support projects end-to-end, including analytic plan development, data cleaning and cohort construction, model implementation, results interpretation, and preparation of tables and figures for manuscripts, grant applications, and regulatory or internal reports. I am also available for targeted statistical consulting, code review, and methodological troubleshooting. I am particularly well-suited for clients who need rigorous, publication-quality biostatistical support and clear communication—not black-box analyses. If you are working with health, clinical, or epidemiologic data and need a statistician who understands both methodology and applied constraints, I can help.
