Welcome!

I’m a data scientist at Google on the Search team. I earned my PhD in the Department of Statistics at North Carolina State University under the direction of Dr. Brian Reich. In graduate school, I developed Bayesian statistical methods for spatial data and applied these methods to a variety of fields including materials and environmental science. I am a former NSF SEAS Fellow and won the Francis G. Giesbrecht Award for Statistical Consulting. Both of these accomplishments highlight my love for collaboration and helping others to understand statistics. Before graduate school, I was a high school mathematics teacher in the Durham, NC public schools system. Now, I collaborate with software engineers and other stakeholders to develop data-driven products.
