I am both a data analyst and writer. My statistical skills cross many fields, including life science, medicine, and social sciences. In addition, I am adept at applying statistics in new ways to old problems, such as using "survival analysis" (a technique used in medicine) to analyze client loss in business contexts. I am also a scientific and medical writer with proven experience in all aspects of manuscript preparation, beginning with raw data and ending in publication in peer-reviewed journals. I know the scientific literature and how to mine it for information. I have also written funded grant proposals to multiple government and private agencies.
