She is from Brazil and had a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in statistics. She has some previous work in the Survival Analysis field in which she adapted a Current Status Data model to incorporate Misclassification. During her master’s, she worked with the Singular Decomposition Value theorem to find latent maps for cancers databases from different countries. She also has experience working as a statistician at a bank and at a marketing company. She loves to work developing models and methodologies that require a strong computational base and she loves to code using R and Python.
