About Me








I strive to make healthcare more efficient and more effective by solving healthcare's most challenging problems. My goal is to always continue learning, improving, and evolving.

I am interested in applying advanced analytics and statistics to improve healthcare from the perspective of the patient and the provider by solving problems such as data accessibility, delays in patient care, patient misclassification, interoperability, staffing optimization, and more. In particular, I want to leverage statistical modeling to allow physicians and researchers to optimize patient care.

I am an avid runner, dog lover, explorer of national parks, a die-hard UNC fan, and an enthusiast of most outdoor activities and sports.

Risk of COVID-19 breakthrough infection and hospitalization in individuals with comorbidities

The successful development of multiple COVID-19 vaccines has led to a global vaccination effort to reduce severe COVID-19 infection and mortality. However, the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines wane over time leading to breakthrough infections where vaccinated individuals experience a COVID-19 infection. Here we estimate the risks of breakthrough infection and subsequent hospitalization in individuals with common comorbidities who had completed an initial vaccination series.

Examining the Impact of Education on Diabetes Rates

Diabetes rates are a problem of growing concern in the U.S. Over 30 million people in the U.S. have been diagnosed with diabetes, and over 90 percent of that group has the largely preventable type 2 diabetes. In order to thwart the disease that costs the U.S. $245 billion a year, the populations most susceptible to diabetes need to be identified and educated. Using data from MEPS, education and several other factors have been identified and their relationships with diabetes have been analyzed to target at risk populations and outline tactics to educate those in dire need of preventative care.
