What I Do

Study Design & Statistical Consulting

  • From protocol development to manuscript-ready analysis — causal inference, survival analysis, mixed models, and regulatory-grade reporting.

  • Serving veterinary researchers, pharmaceutical sponsors, and academic collaborators.

Regulatory & Equine Advisory

  • Independent scientific review for equine medication policy, safety surveillance, and racing regulatory submissions.

  • Deep familiarity with the Equine regulatory ecosystem and the statistical demands of equine injury and fatality.

Expert Witness & Legal Consulting

  • Statistical and epidemiological expert opinions for veterinary, pharmaceutical, and equine industry litigation.

  • With firsthand experience in equine industry cases, I translate complex methodology into clear, court-ready analysis that holds up to scrutiny.
