Introduction

I am a Clinical Chemist and Associate Professor at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, where I focus on improving laboratory quality and patient safety through data analysis and process improvement. My work spans chemistry and toxicology testing, point-of-care diagnostics, and quality systems for clinical laboratories. I became interested in data analytics as a way to use laboratory data to identify areas for process improvement within the laboratory. Outside of work, I enjoy gardening, especially experimenting with herbs and vegetables. I am excited to build my skills in data wrangling and reporting through this course.
