About Me

I am a statistician with the Department of Biostatistics & Data Science at the Wake Forest School of Medicine.

I recently completed my PhD in Statistics & Operations Research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where I was advised by Richard L. Smith.

My doctoral work develops scalable methods for spatial extreme value data fusion, with applications to coastal hazard projection under a changing climate. My applied research spans opioid misuse surveillance (NIDA R01) and emerging work at the climate-health intersection.

My research interests include

• Spatial Extreme Value Theory
• Bayesian Hierarchical Modeling
• Spatial Data Fusion
• Environmental Extremes and Public Health
• Spatial Epidemiology
