Tell us about yourself, your position, background, motivations.

I hold a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from North Carolina State University, where my passion for biostatistics blossomed. My doctoral dissertation focused on developing an innovative statistical method to enhance MRI image post-processing, aiding physicians in making critical therapeutic decisions for acute stroke patients. With close to two decades of experience spanning biomedical research, cancer and personalized medicine, and clinical development, I currently serve as the Senior Director of Biostatistics at Crinetics. Working alongside dedicated cross-functional teams devoted to improving the lives of patients with rare diseases continuously reinforces our shared mission and propels me forward.
