About

I am a PhD student in the Computational Story Lab in the Vermont Complex Systems Institute at the University of Vermont. I am interested in the interplay between health and society. I’m a data scientist who works across a wide range of domains, applying whatever methods the question demands, from statistical modeling and hazard regression to machine learning, Bayesian inference, and NLP. In health, I build precision medicine tools that translate biomarkers and lifestyle data into actionable clinical insight, with a current focus on male factor infertility and cardiovascular biomarkers. I also do computational social science work exploring how AI constructs meaning and encodes bias, and more broadly I’m drawn to any data that illuminates something true about the human experience and how we can translate our findings to general audiences.

I graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 2014 with a Bachelors in Math, and a minor in Applied Statistics. I earned a Rhodes Scholarship to the University of Oxford, where I graduated with an MPhil in Evidence-based Social Intervention and Policy Evaluation. I spent 8 years in the United States Army as an active-duty Medical Service Corps officer.

I have fun outdoors. All my favorite activities involve spending time outside with my favorite people. I also love to read (anything and everything) from historical fiction to science fiction to fantasy and political thrillers.
