She is currently completing a doctoral degree in Statistics at Utah State University (expected 2016), where she is focusing on sparse data issues in generalized linear modeling (eg, exact logistic regression methods in situations of large samples and continuous covariates). Sarah has worked as a statistician for the Center for Epidemiologic Studies at USU, with collaborators from the University of Utah, Johns Hopkins, and Duke. In addition to expertise in traditional experimental designs and statistical techniques, Sarah specializes in cutting-edge longitudinal modeling, survival analysis, graphical methods, data programming, computer-adaptive designs, and RCTs. She also has experience in scientific writing, including journal articles and grant applications.

Sarah earned her undergraduate degree from USU in Math Education with a minor in Chemistry Teaching. She taught math and chemistry for five years at both public and private high schools. Sarah has also taught courses at USU, including college algebra (Math 1010, 1050) and introductory statistics (Stat 1040, 2000). Sarah will occasionally be teaching graduate-level statistics courses in our college in the future. In her spare time, she enjoys snowboarding and skiing in the Winter and wakeboarding in the Summer.
