Welcome to my blog - it's great to have you here ! This blog was created as a medium to share some of the thoughts and assignments for a doctorate-level futuring and innovations course. To better understand my vantage point, please allow me to introduce myself by way of this post. My husband and I are parents to a spunky three-year-old little girl and two Christmas-tree climbing cats. As far as my education goes, I have a bachelor's degree in mathematics, a master's degree in statistics, a second master's degree in biostatistics, and am currently about halfway through my doctorate in computer science with a concentration in big data analytics. In my professional life, I work as a biostatistician in the pharmaceutical field where I design and analyze clinical trial data. In my personal life, I enjoy hot tea, board games, crossword puzzles, party planning, Target runs, and decompressing on mindless reality television shows. This blog will discuss cutting-edge innovations
