Welcome!

I'm an Assistant Professor of Statistics at Reed College in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. I completed my Ph.D. in statistics in 2023 at the University of Washington, advised by Professor Elena A. Erosheva. I earned a B.A. in mathematics with a concentration in statistics from St. Olaf College. Outside of academia, I have worked as a statistical consultant at Deloitte and as an applied research statistician at Boeing.

I am a Bayesian statistician with work in ordinal data methods, model-based clustering, and statistical demography. Recently, I have focused on the statistical analysis of preference data, such as ratings and rankings. The goal of these methods is to infer a population's preferences, opinions, or attitudes, often with the goal of improving collective decision-making. This work has numerous applications, including to ranked-choice voting, survey statistics, and clinicial trials.
