Biography

I have always wanted to study traumatic brain injury, largely due to some personal experiences when I was a kid. But I couldn't find any labs studying brain injuries (specifically in kids) during the summers of my undergrad, so I worked on statistics-heavy projects with PIs who were doing similar projects. It seemed like I was always meant to do something data-driven. When in grad school, I worked in non-invasive brain stimulation after brain injury in kids at the Alberta Children's Hospital, and got my first exposure to any kind of coding using Matlab, and it stuck. From there, I taught myself Python and R, leaning on R for statistical uses in subsequent clinical studies after my degree. 

When I graduate, I'd really enjoy putting this newly formalized data science skillset into work in a health care setting: melding complex physiological correlates with real-world questions and solutions.
