I am a graduate student in the Department of Statistics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I earned my Masters in Statistics in Spring 2009. I am a member of the Wahba-Keles Thursday Working Group, which studies statistical genomics and affiliated machine learning problems. I was the department graduate student leader (2008-2009) and have organized the department's student seminar in the past.

I am from Buffalo, NY and received my Sc.B. from Brown University where I wrote a thesis on trial designs for diagnostic tests. I studied statistical methods for determining tumor clonality in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center before entering the graduate program at Wisconsin.
