- Self-Description: I have a background in demography and sociology, with an emphasis on biosocial health. I have a wide variety of research interests, though I tend to prefer helping others with the methods for their research projects rather than focus on any one specific area of interest. I have experience with a broad range of demographic and statistical analyses, utilizing software programs such as Stata and SAS. I also have experience managing and analyzing Medicare and Medicaid claims data. I am involved in several program evaluations aimed at assessing public health programs, including the Overdose Data 2 Action program, and Florida Medicaid Family Planning Waiver Program.
