About

Academic and Career Interests

I’ve had a variety of academic and career experiences.

Broadly speaking some focal areas with examples have included:

  • Research
  • Software Development
    • Software Automation–Developed Complex Test Automation Systems
    • Software Testing–Quality Assurance for Statistical and Data Management Software
    • Technical Leadership–Initiated and Led Process Improvement Projects
  • Mentoring/Teaching
    • Botany Labs–Taught Introductory Botany Labs at NC State University
    • Technical Presentations–Gave Talks on Many “How To” Topics
    • Mentoring Junior Staff

I’m currently enrolled in the NC State University Master of Statistics program. I’m developing a deeper understanding of research from a statistical point of view and continuing to expand my computing expertise.

Other Interests

Long Distance Running

I’ve been running since high school. I’ve continued running as a way to support my health and to be outside.

I highly recommend the following trail races held primarily on wide dirt trails with a few paved greenway sections.

Salem Lake 30K and 7 Mile Trail Races

Salem Lake Frosty 50K and 25K Trail Races

Nature/Travel

I enjoy traveling and visiting natural areas.
