👋 Hi, and welcome to my website!

I’m Ashley, a Ph.D. student at Vanderbilt University and research assistant in the Department of Biostatistics at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. These days, I work with Dr. Rameela Raman and her analytics team at the Vanderbilt Center of Excellence for Children in State Custody to enhance the quality of services provided to children in or at-risk of entering the Tennessee child welfare or juvenile justice systems.

I earned my master’s degree from the Department of Statistical Sciences at Wake Forest University, where I worked with Dr. Sarah Lotspeich on methods to handle measurement error and their exciting applications to the study of local food access. Go Deacs! 🎩

Before heading to graduate school, I studied applied mathematics with Dr. Murong Xu and philosophy in the Special Jesuit Liberal Arts program at the University of Scranton. Go Royals! 💜

I 💖 working with data and talking about sitcoms and romcoms, sometimes even at the same time!
