Research fellow with doctoral training in epidemiology to help undergraduate and MPH students

Julia and I worked together as data scientists on the COVID-19 response at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and there was no one else I would have rather had with me in the thick of things.

She is one of the strongest quantitative scientists I know and one of the best teachers. She sets the bar for patience with new learners very high and meets people where they are in their learning journeys with enthusiasm, empathy, and relevant examples tailored to each learner. Julia also has enough technical skill that she can distill and explain even incredibly complicated concepts like Markov models with plain language and humor.

When I first joined the same team as Julia at CDC, she taught me how to use a software that she had 1) taught herself, and 2) had me able to support her competently over the course of a few hours. She was also incredibly generous with her time when I had the very most basic of questions. When she did not know an answer she was honest and when possible, she would connect me with other resources to learn more and we would learn something new together.

Julia is incredible and you would be so so so fortunate to have her as your epi professor.

Julia is extremely knowledgeable about epidemiology, and she is very good at explaining complex topics. I highly recommend her

Julia is so passionate about stats and epidemiology that it’s infectious. She’s a great resource for anyone looking to learn core concepts, practice problems, and think through advanced methods.

Julia is an excellent tutor. I have no statistics background but she explains it in a clear and effective way without being patronising. She’s great to interact with and teaches with compassion and kindness.
She is very knowledgable about her subject and is incredibly supportive. Would recommended her to any student or professional needing support
