Quantitative Methodologist and Interdisciplinary Health Scientist
I am a Professor of Statistics in the Duke University School of Nursing, with a secondary appointment as Professor in the Department of Population Health Sciences at the Duke University School of Medicine. I direct the Health Statistics and Data Science Core, which supports rigorous study design, statistical analysis, data science, and collaboration on quantitative methods in nursing and health research.
My scholarship integrates methodological development with applications in nursing, medicine, public health, behavioral science, and education. Teaching and mentoring are central to my work, including graduate instruction and quantitative-methods guidance for doctoral students, postdoctoral scholars, junior faculty, and interdisciplinary teams.
