I am a clinical data scientist and educator. As a data scientist, I apply methods including natural language processing and machine learning to support clinical research and improve patient care. As an educator, my goal is to introduce students of diverse backgrounds to Informatics and empower them to learn and apply core data science skills.

I work as an adjunct professor at Utah Valley University, where I teach INFO-3700: Foundations of Healthcare Informatics. I've also taught at various summer schools and online workshops. Whenever possible, I try to make my materials available publicly. Here are some links to online courses or tutorials which I've contributed to.
