Welcome To My Blog
Who Am I?
I am a scientist that wears many hats. By training, I’m a Biostatistician with a Master’s degree from California State University, but I also have a background in data analytics and data science. My journey in data analysis and statistical programming has been driven by a long-standing deep interest in public health epidemiology.
My Experience
Previously, I’ve done modeling work to learn about the impact of diet on cardiovascular disease in US adults. My current focus: working with my lab to analyze the impact of certain xenobiotics on bronchopulmonary dysplasia in infants.
My Goal
My current goal is to improve and expand my statistical knowledge and skillset to better answer unsolved questions in the public health arena. I hope to one day give back and make great contributions to the field of biostatistics in a way that has a massive positive impact on people’s health from all walks of life–whether locally or globally.
My Hobbies
In my free time I like to learn new things, meditate, read, write, and analyze sports data. My current passion projects include: learning Python, studying African history, making art, and indoor-gardening.
About this Blog
Persimetria is a portmanteau of the latin words for “peach” persicum and “process of measuring” or metria. I chose these words to combine my favorite fruit with my love of mathematics.
