I was an epidemiology/healthcare economics postdoctoral fellow at the University of California, San Francisco before I joined Genentech in 2017. I received my PhD in Epidemiology at the University of California, Davis. I also received a master?s degree in Biostatistics, concurrently with my doctoral studies in Epidemiology. Prior to and during my doctoral studies, I worked as a biostatistician using SAS, R and STATA software for management and analysis of real world national and local data as well as clinical trial data in the areas of cancer, dementia, seizure reduction, traumatic brain injury and HIV.
