Biographical Info
- Personal Statement about time at DBMI.
“I had excellent mentors and opportunities while in Pitt DBMI. I was fortunate to be funded by their National Library of Medicine T15 training program for both predoctoral and postdoctoral training. While a predoc, I presented my work multiple times at conferences of the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA), twice winning best student paper awards. In the summer of 2015, I was an intern for the Center for Health Informatics for the Underserved in Malawi, Africa. In other summers, I had the opportunity to mentor numerous undergraduate and high school scholars as part of DBMI’s outreach programs. My training and experiences at Pitt DBMI directly lead to my current faculty appointment in a clinical department.”
