“I will be starting February 22nd as an Associate Service Fellow in the Mortality Statistics Branch within the Division of Vital Statistics at the National Center for Health Statistics. My primary responsibility will be monitoring the quality of mortality data, especially cause of death. This branch also publishes on infant mortality so I think it will be a great fit (my thesis and dissertation projects were on exercise during pregnancy)! Thank you all for your support throughout the years! My studies in Health and Exercise Science at Truman, especially Research Methods and Statistics, were a great foundation for graduate school and they will continue to serve me well in my new position.”
