Study Title
Comparative Effectiveness of Mobile Health Smoking Cessation Approaches among Underserved Patients in Primary Care
Department of Health Outcomes and Biomedical Informatics
​
Study Background
-
Smoking is the leading cause of preventable, disease, disability, and death in the United States.
-
This study aims to determine the comparative effectiveness, clinical adaptability, barriers, and facilitators of two novel smoking cessation treatments against the current standard of care.
-
The Tobacco Free Florida Quitline: The state quitline and current standard of care
-
iCanQuit: a mobile health intervention based on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
-
iCanQuit+Motiv8: a second mobile health intervention based on ACT in conjunction with contingency management
-
-
These three treatments will be analyzed quantitatively to determine each of their rates of achieving smoking abstinence at six months and qualitatively through interviews with clinic care teams and patients.
​
My Role
​
-
As a clinical research assistant, my primary role is participant recruitment, engagement, and retention.
-
I enroll patients who smoke from the UF Health Eastside Family Medicine clinic, measure an initial breath Carbon Monoxide concentration, and assist them in completing baseline surveys.
-
I manage their information using REDcap quantitative data storage, their follow up visits, and payments.
-
-
My secondary role is in qualitative analysis.
-
I coordinate the qualitative analysis

Clinical Informatics​
Study Title
Impact of Electronic Information System Audit Log Data on Nursing Workload
Department of Biomedical Informatics
​
Study Background
-
Nursing burnout is the leading cause of turnover from the field.
-
Understaffing and high workloads contribute to burnout considerably.
-
Electronic health records (EHR) offer valuable data on nurse workflow and workload.
-
The study aims to use novel data science methods to analyze nursing EHR audit logs to find patterns.
​
My Role
​
-
As a research assistant, my jobs revolved round researching and applying new data analysis methods to our dataset.
-
My responsibilities include:
-
Performing literature reviews on available methods.
-
Developing Python and R codes that can find patterns in the data set.
-
Applying sequence alignment techniques to the data.
-
Brainstorming data analysis pipeline strategies to maximize results.

Interests
As a student, my primary focus lies on the intersection of chemistry, biology, math, and physics. My favorite classes involve the connections between the sciences and I will pursue more classes on molecular biology and physics. For my major, I'm taking a broad survey on the branches of chemistry and molecular biology. My Pre-medical curriculum includes many basic sciences alongside medical sciences, social sciences, and humanities. My physics minor is to pursue higher level math and further understand quantum processes. I'm also interested in environmental science and have taken electives on soils and wetlands.
