Working at the intersection of data, health, and human performance.

As a Data Scientist and knowledgeable athlete, my passion has led me to the intersection of data, health, and human performance. I believe our health is our most valuable asset, and I aspire to help others bridge the gap between theoretical research and practical real-world solutions.

By assiduously combining insights from medicine, athletics, and data science, I believe everyone can achieve their best. Currently a Data Scientist at LabCorp Integrated Oncology, focused on genomics and liquid-biopsy diagnostics.
