A little about me
I
am a PhD Candidate in Biomedical
and
Health Informatics and a MPH student in the Health
Care and Population Health Research Track at the
University of Washington's School of Medicine and
School of Public Health. I am on track to finish both degrees in May 2009. Therefore, I'm currently looking for a job beginning next Summer/Fall. For now I am considering all types of opportunities(academic, public or private sector).
