I am an Associate Professor at Brigham Young University, in the Department of Statistics. From 2002 to 2005 I worked as a post-doctoral associate in the laboratory of Dr. Gary Churchill at the Jackson Laboratory. In October of 2002, I received a PhD in Biostatistics from the Johns Hopkins University under the guidance of Professor Giovanni Parmigiani. I graduated from Wellesley College in 1997 with a major in Mathematics.
