As a Columbia Native I’ve been lucky enough to call Mizzou my home for 26 years! Coming from a background in healthcare management and finance, my focus area is health and biomedical informatics. My research interests include the application of AI models to large-scale EHR data to predict clinical outcomes and derive the cost-effectiveness of clinical practices. Currently, I am researching the effectiveness of Ivacaftor and the rest of the -caftor family of medications in their ability to moderate weight gain/loss in patients with Cystic Fibrosis, as compared to traditional interventions such as high-fat diets and therapeutic interventions. Towards the future, I hope to continue to enage in cost-comparison research that investigates the benefits and drawbacks of pharmaceuticals for value-based care initiatives to help streamline the drug prescription process.
