Hi, I’m Cassie! I am a first-year student here in the Masters program. I received my BS in Financial Mathematics from the University of Mount Union (’17). I also earned a minor in Neuroscience, which is what sparked my interest in biostatistics! I am very interested in neuroscience research in both Alzheimer’s and autism. Outside of class, I enjoy running, watching sports, and exploring the city of Nashville and all of the great things it has to offer!
