I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Southern Utah University. I completed my Ph.D. specializing in Statistics in May 2025 at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. 

My research lies in nonparametric statistics, statistical machine learning, and applications of statistics in epidemiology. Currently, I am working on two projects: one on improving imbalanced classification and another on feature selection.

I have experience teaching a variety of courses in mathematics, statistics, and data science. In statistics, I am particularly interested in teaching introductory statistics, computational statistics, and advanced statistical inference. In data science, I enjoy teaching statistical machine learning, and data analytics. 

I have a passion for traveling. I also enjoy discovering new flavors through cooking and trying new dishes.
