Entering Fall 2026, I begin my ninth year teaching statistics. My past appointments included Graduate Teaching Instructor at the University of Northern Colorado (2018–19), Michigan Technological University (2019–25), and Visiting Assistant Professor at Macalester College (2025–26). You can find a complete list of the courses I have taught, and their corresponding course materials, on my Teaching page.

My methodological and applied research interest lies at the intersection of statistical genetics, bioinformatics, and computational genomics. Please read more about current and past projects on my Research & Mentoring page.

I am also developing a strong interest in SoTL (the scholarship of teaching and learning). I enjoy talking with students about courses, research, undergraduate and graduate programs, and career opportunities in statistics and data science.

Beyond the classroom and research, I’m active in professional service and leadership. At Macalester College, I served on the Transformation Committee and contribute to preceptor (TA) program development, training, and evaluation, faculty-development support, and DEI initiatives. At CWRU, I plan to actively engage in student mentoring, including Capstone Projects, curriculum development, and the training and mentoring of teaching assistants (TAs). Please see the Service & Leadership tab for details.
