+Experienced and self-motivated Mathematical Statistician with over five years of experience applying statistical methods reinforced by robust mathematical reasoning to effectively scope tests and analyze test data across various U.S. Army warfighting commodities while consistently exceeding established job performance metrics. I have demonstrated success collaborating with several agencies simultaneously to identify test constraints, develop action plans, and support data fluency through both oral and written communication.
