About

Hello , I’m a researcher passionate about advancing healthcare through the power of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and predictive analytics. I recently completed my Master's in Applied Science at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where I explored interdisciplinary methods for improving patient outcomes in both clinical and public health settings.

My work bridges the gap between data and care, with research spanning cardiovascular disease prediction, natural language processing in healthcare, and AI-driven clinical trial optimization. I’ve co-authored peer-reviewed publications on topics like early diagnosis of chronic diseases, predictive modeling using machine learning , and the integration of big data into healthcare systems.

My research is contributing to the growing body of knowledge in machine learning, health informatics, and predictive analytics, helping to inform and advance the field. I'm driven by the goal of making precision medicine more intelligent, inclusive, and impactful.
