Health informatics researcher working across academic, public health, and clinical settings
My research focuses on algorithmic fairness and health equity in population health data. In addition to my postdoctoral work at Dalhousie, I work as a Clinical Performance Consultant within Nova Scotia Health and independently with clinics and health organizations on clinical data analytics
Research
My postdoctoral research applies fairness auditing methods to machine learning models that predict unmet health care needs across Canadian populations. Earlier doctoral work focused on the spatial epidemiology of TBI and post-injury mental health outcomes in Nova Scotia.
Consulting
I work with Nova Scotia Health on clinical analytics and performance improvement, and independently with clinics on a variety of clinical analytics including normative modeling, composite scores, and interpretable reporting.
