Robust research,
human context.
I address complex health topics and devise tools to clarify them. I teach the next generation to do both.
I'm a research epidemiologist and public health educator with a focus on surgical outcomes in traumatically injured populations — specifically the patterns, predictors, and prevention of adverse outcomes.
My work sits at the intersection of statistics, medicine, and education. I design studies, build statistical models, and translate findings into tools that clinicians and researchers can actually use. Critical assessment of the practical applications of my work is central to how I approach problems -- whether that means interrogating a dataset, challenging an assumption, or devising a novel solution to a question that others have treated as settled.
I believe good research should be reproducible, clearly communicated, and built on rigorous methods — without losing sight of the patients those methods ultimately serve.
Open to research collaborations, consulting engagements, and curriculum development.
Evidence-First
IRB-approved epidemiologic research with a focus on reproducible statistical methods and healthcare data.
Committed to Teaching
University public health instruction grounded in applied methods, real data, and honest uncertainty.
Solution-Oriented
I approach complex problems analytically — breaking them down, identifying what the evidence actually supports, and building tools that make findings usable for practitioners.
