I am a Research Computing Associate at the University of Virginia where I collaborate with faculty on image processing and data analysis projects. Prior to joining UVa Research Computing, I researched traumatic brain injury at the UVa Functional Neuroradiology Lab. I specialize in MATLAB, R, and Python programming but I’m always excited to learn new technologies and programming languages.
In my spare time, I enjoy trying new recipes, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and taking pictures of my dog around Charlottesville.
