PhD Health Researcher | Data Analysis, Study Design, Translational & Implementation Science

Profile Summary

PhD-level health and social researcher with over a decade of experience conducting and managing interdisciplinary research on trauma, mental and physical health, and health equity. I specialize in advanced statistical modeling, survey design, causal inference, and analysis of large-scale datasets. I have led IRB-regulated, multi-site projects in clinical and community settings, consistently achieving strong outcomes in participant retention, protocol adherence, and stakeholder collaboration. My work spans broad and diverse populations, including racially and ethnically minoritized groups, low-income families, and high-risk maternal health cohorts. I bring both statistical rigor and cultural responsiveness to every project. I offer services in data analysis, literature reviews, protocol development, and research translation. I help academic, nonprofit, and health tech teams turn complex data into actionable insights. Whether you need support with statistical methods, project design, or publication-ready deliverables, I bring rigorous science and clear communication to every engagement.
