I'm a graduate of St. Louis University, with a bachelor's degree in Sociology and GIS. I currently conduct public health research at the Institute for Public Health at Washington University in St. Louis. I am both a passionate academic and a zealous software developer.
I use big data to analyze social phenomena and investigate public health issues. My substantive research interests are in the social determinants of health, economic sociology, demography, as well as quantitative and spatial methods.
