  Currently in the fourth year of my doctoral program

  I am beginning to focus more on research and developing a research profile centered around the statistical and computational analysis of human brain imaging data. My research experience so far in this program has centered around collaborative studies in which I perform and write up results of statistical data analyses. This work has led to publications on vaccine hesitancy and acceptance among U.S. parents and HIV medication adherence as it relates to literacy and numeracy skills. I have also worked with researchers exploring topics as vast as veterinary science

  use of food pantries and educational outcomes. \n\nIn addition to research

  I am very passionate about teaching. Prior to my beginning the PhD program at Emory University I taught undergraduate-level mathematics; for two years as Mathematics Professor at Allen University

  Columbia SC and another two years as Mathematics Instructor at Spelman College

  Atlanta GA. Since becoming a graduate student I have gained two years experience as a teaching assistant and an additional semester of teaching as a Lab Instructor. I have also worked as an instructor and teaching assistant for the NIH-sponsored Summer In Biostatistics (SIBS) program at Rollins School of Public Health

  Emory University. This program exposes undergraduate students of various backgrounds to an introductory level course in Biostatistics and research that uses the principles taught in that course. \nI plan to continue work as a statistical collaborator

  consultant and teacher as I begin to pursue my own methodological research.

  My research interests lie in pursuing statistical methods to jointly analyze and explore images of the brain that arise from multi-modal techniques. I also

  have a passion for teaching statistics and mathematics especially to groups that are traditionally underrepresented in those fields.

  Instructor

  Lab Instructor for Introduction to Biostatstics. \nStudents were taught some basic programming skills via SAS and R to perform basic statistical analyses. \nAssignments were structured to give practical experience based on theory learned in their lecture. \nLed a team of two teaching assistants both of whom assisted with grading and answering students' questions during course meetings

  Consultant

  As a consultant

  I met conducted statistical data analyses for researchers working in various fields. Analysis techniques employed include

  but are not limited to

  longitudinal data analysis

  survival analysis

  regression analysis

  power and sample size calculations as well as mediation analysis. \nClients and collaborators counted on my ability to understand the research question at hand

  develop a plan for statistical analysis of the data and provide both written and oral communication that thoroughly explains analysis results in a clear concise manner no matter the audience's knowledge of statistics.
