My advisor is R.N. Uma. My thesis work is in data science. I am particularly interested in data analysis for higher education as it pertains to studying the trajectories of two-year college, transfer, and non-traditional students.

I am also part of the Pharmacy Refusals Lab at the Quantitative Study of Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity (QSIDE) Institute. I use tools from data science and statistics to quantify pharmacy refusal incidents and understand the geography/demographics of those affected by the issue. This work is joint with Amanda Landi, Adriana Duncan, Juniper Cocomello, Alex Fulk, and others.

As a researcher, I value collaboration and community work. I consult with policy experts, lawyers, and advocacy organizations. I often travel and work directly with the public to collect data and perspectives.
