Bio

I am currently an Assistant Professor of Statistics and Mathematics at Juniata College in Huntingdon, PA. I am involved in the Mathematics Department and both the undergraduate and graduate Data Science Program at Juniata.

My research interests include spatial statistics, time series analysis, statistical computing and graphics, survival analysis, and statistics education.

I earned my M.S. in Statistical Science in December 2016 and my Ph.D. in Statistical Science in May 2020, both from Baylor University in Waco, TX. My dissertation was completed under the direction of Jack Tubbs and Joon Jin Song at Baylor University. Prior to that, I earned a B.S. in Mathematics from Texas Lutheran University in Seguin, TX.

I am originally from San Antonio, TX and I currently reside in Shippensburg, PA with my husband Grant and our adorable dogs, Einstein and Newton. I play the saxophone in the Shippensburg Town Band and Shippensburg Swing Band. In my free time, I enjoy baking, fishing, and spending time with family.
