I’m an Assistant Professor of Statistics in the Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science at Macalester College. I completed my Ph.D. in Biostatistics in 2023 at the University of Washington, advised by Dr. Jon Wakefield. My research interests include small area estimation, demography, survival analysis, and statistical methods for use in official statistics and complex survey data settings. I am particularly interested in applications related to demography and thinking about creative ways to improve the computation efficiency of statistical methods, and much of my work is thusly focused. My current research extends existing methods for estimating mortality across time from complex survey data using continuous, parametric survival models.
