I was recently interviewed for a student life profile in the quarterly Tower Magazine.

As a chiropractor who loves technology, I've found a hopeful career path in health informatics and began pursuing a second master's via Logan's online program on the data analytics track. The field of health informatics is broad, encompassing everything from billing, coding, and EHR implementation to telehealth and data analytics. In particular, I've really enjoyed learning a bit of Python and data visualization, but there is still a lot to learn.

I continue working part-time with and hope that I can apply what I've learned to streamline our data collection. This role has made me appreciate the importance of measuring what matters, as the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation does in their Global Burden of Diseases study.
