About me

I turn clinical datasets into practical analyses that help teams understand trends and inform decisions.

I am a Graduate student at Western University in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering. I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of British Columbia in the Combined Major in Science (Biology, Chemistry, Statistics). Through the TruBridge Healthcare Data Analytics Externship, I applied my background in R, Excel, and statistical modeling to analyze clinical data and support healthcare teams. With experience spanning published molecular research and team leadership, I bridge rigorous scientific inquiry and data analytics to solve practical problems and improve healthcare outcomes.

TruBridge Healthcare Data Analytics Externship

A healthcare data analytics externship with TruBridge focused on analyzing public health datasets, building dashboards, and applying statistical methods to infection and outcomes data.

Data AnalysisData VisualizationData Storytelling

Overview

The externship worked with large public healthcare datasets to explore patterns in infections and outcomes, and to practice statistical modeling and dashboarding. The work involved data preparation, correlational and trend analyses, and building interactive visualizations. Deliverables included analytic results and interactive dashboards derived from public data.

What I've accomplished

I identified and validated the U.S. Chronic Disease Indicators dataset using a six-point fitness checklist, documenting structure, units, variables, sample size, and missingness, and flagged state-year pairing for further confirmation.

Project breakdown

I identified the U.S. Chronic Disease Indicators dataset, applied the six-point fitness checklist, and documented that it passed structure, unit, variables, sample size, and missingness but required confirmation of pairing plausibility for state-year alignment.
