Hello! I am a Biostatistician at Seattle Children’s Therapeutics, part of Seattle Children’s Research Institute, where I work on a portfolio of early phase clinical trials in cell and gene therapy in oncology and for autoimmune diseases.

I received my PhD from the Department of Biostatistics at the University of Washington advised by Dr. Ting Ye.

The overarching goal of my research is to design clinical trials that are flexible, adaptable, and efficient, while maintaining a focus on statistical rigor, clinical relevance, and patient safety. My current methodological work spans covariate adjustment, master protocol trials, and active-controlled trials.

Our package RobinCar for covariate adjustment in randomized clinical trials – and its sister package RobinCar2 – are now available on CRAN!

I am particularly interested in oncology clinical trials, and completed the FDA-OCE-ASA Educational Fellowship in oncology drug development and regulatory policy.

Throughout graduate school, I worked as a research assistant in the Gao Lab in the Biostatistics, Bioinformatics, and Epidemiology Program at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. Previously, I was a Post-Bachelor Fellow and a Researcher on the Mathematical Sciences team at IHME where I worked on a variety of disease modeling and software engineering projects for the Global Burden of Disease Study.
