My passion for mathematics started when I was young and led to my pursuit of my B.A. in Mathematics at Minot State University. I added my minor in Statistics shortly after enrolling in my first statistics course. After graduating, with a passion for both mathematics and statistics, I continued my education at Minnesota State University, Mankato, where I received my M.S. in Mathematics and Statistics. After graduating, I wasn’t sure of my career path, but I knew I wanted to help others; BARU seemed like the perfect fit. I joined the group on April 1st, 2021 (unsure whether or not it was an elaborate April Fools’ joke), working as a Statistician II. Currently, much of my work involves helping to investigate various biological pathways for Alzheimer’s and other aging-related diseases.
