About
As a passionate and driven graduate student at Arizona State University, I have dedicated my academic career to excelling in the fields of mathematics, statistics, and applications in data science. I am currently pursuing a Master's of Science in Statistics and hold a Bachelor's of Science in Mathematics (Statistics), with a minor in Philosophy. I am fascinated by ... practically everything in biostatistics, but particularly medical imaging, prediction, decision making, and forecasting.
