I was attracted to the Graduate Group in Epidemiology for my doctoral work after completing an M.S. in Environmental Health at the University of Washington and an M.S. in Statistics here at Davis. This program allows me to pursue interests in both statistical methods and health research. The guitar depicted here is fictional. Any similarity to real guitars, alive or deceased, is unintentional. |
