Our school changed its name from "Loyola College in Maryland" to "Loyola University Maryland" and our department changed its name from "Mathematical Sciences" to "Mathematics and Statistics". I'm trying to correct the names, but please be patient while I do this.
I grew up
in Dubuque, Iowa and attended
the
University of Iowa in Iowa City (GO HAWKEYES!) where I received
a B.S. in mathematics. I worked as a research assistant at the
Clinical Trials Data
Management Center (now called the Clinical Trials Statistical & Data Management Center) before I moved to Eugene, Oregon for graduate school.
