I am a recent PhD graduate in Public Health Genetics from the University of Washington’s Institute for Public Health Genetics, where I worked in the Miller Lab. My research sits at the intersection of bioinformatics, statistical genetics, and health economics, with a focus on translational genomics. My dissertation evaluated long-read sequencing for clinical care — addressing how accurate it is, what it enables beyond a single diagnosis, and how often it changes outcomes for patients who have exhausted standard testing options.
Throughout my research and professional experiences, I have worked across statistics, genetics, cancer biology, machine learning, and public health, and I am passionate about bringing these interdisciplinary skills to precision medicine in industry.
I am actively seeking full-time roles in bioinformatics, computational biology, translational data science, and genomics AI.
