Epidemiologist with Experience in Qualitative/Quantitive Research, Generative AI, LLMS, & COVID-19 Outbreak Response

Profile Summary

I am a doctoral-level epidemiologist with 20 years of experience in research & public health.  I am passionate about using epidemiologic methods to help understand the problem, test solutions, and interpret the findings.  I also use other resources like Lean Startup methodologies and generative AI to enrich my work. My experience includes familiarity with Large Language Models, registry & data platforms, best practices for survey research, data analyses and interpretation, as well as helping clients with study design and interpretation. A sample some of my LLM work for research is available at:  https://www.wearedatadriven.com/post/four-useful-prompts-for-researchers

Specific to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, I understand current findings on transmission and protection and can communicate these findings to workers and clients with clear and actionable guidance.

If we work together, I will help you think about what questions to ask and what solutions to test.  The most well-informed solution may fall flat if it is not feasible and acceptable, so that is where we will start.

I'm laser-focused on understanding, using, and communicating data related to health or other outcomes where pattern detection, quantitative understanding, and communication are key to driving next steps.
