About Me

I am a second-year graduate student in the Department of Statistical Science at Baylor University . I moved to Waco after completing my undergraduate studies at Wheaton College , where I played baseball for the Thunder. I proudly hail from Phoenix and will spend every second I can visiting northern Arizona.

Generally speaking, you can find me at Grace Church Waco on a given Sunday morning, and I’m always trying to find a way to go back to the Czech Republic to work with Křesťanská Akademie Mladých again.

Currently, I am learning many new statistical methods that will enable me to build predictive models, understand stochastic phenomena, and discover associations in our world.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
  • Quarto
  • Git/Github
  • JAGS/Stan
  • Positron

After support raising for four months, I spent two and a half months working for a youth missions organization in Central and Eastern Europe, called KAM (Křesťanská Akademie Mladých). For this work I lived in Ostrava, CZ where I assisted local CB churches with youth outreach through camps where I taught English and sports. I also helped onboard short-term mission teams who joined us for camps.
Academic Coach - Wheaton Academy
Jan 2023 - May 2023
In this role I met with students 1-on-1 per their request to teach, review, and sharpen their math skills. I met with students ranging in courses from Algebra I to AP Statistics to help them prepare for their exams, whether it’s ones for courses or AP exams.
Teaching Assistant - Wheaton College
Aug 2022 - May 2023

I was the teaching assistant for Dr. Peter Jantsch in the fall of 2022 and spring of 2023. I hosted weekly help sessions for students to come in for extra help, and graded course homework. The courses I helped with were:

  • MATH 465: Applied Machine Learning,
  • MATH 363: Probability Theory.

Projects

Mo(Wa)²TER Introduction to Data Science Course Material
Data Science R/RStudio Wastewater Treatment
Mo(Wa)²TER Introduction to Data Science Course Material
We used problems in water and wastewater treatment to create a data science course. On this project I was a compiler and the editor on all of the material before it was published.
Harvard Dataverse
Assessing Interference with Regression Analysis Techniques
Dynamic Spectrum Access Generalized Additive Models
Assessing Interference with Regression Analysis Techniques
This work proposes using regression analysis to predict aggregate interference in next-generation Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) systems, which must operate in real-time. On this project I was the statistician on this project and built the model.
