I discovered inferential statistics as an undergraduate student doing biological research. My love for the application of statistical methods to advance scientific knowledge led me to become a statistician. I have had an extremely rewarding career; I am fortunate to spend my days doing something I love to do. I have spent most of my professional career as a statistician in the biotech/pharmaceutical industry, helping to bring life changing drugs to people who need them. And I have had other enriching experiences, such as contributing to agricultural research in Rwanda. I will share some of the challenges and rewards of my life as a statistician.
All statistics students are expected to attend.
