I believe that people are more important than problems. I believe that while we are are innately flawed and imperfect, we have an instinctual desire to improve our condition. Progress comes through collaboration and reliance on external forces: people, technology, deity, and other resources.
I am unique in how I value technology as a tool to solve human problems. I am sensitive to pains, problems, and opportunities, and I love the process of innovation—the iterative journey of addressing these issues. I believe that interdisciplinary education and collaboration foster innovation.
My education is unique and interdisciplinary. I have a PhD in Genetics & Genomics from Baylor College of Medicine, and a B.S. in bioinformatics from Brigham Young University with minors in computer science, global business & literacy, and Chinese. I have a highly technical skill set, yet I also possess a strong humanities background enabling me to appreciate "the big picture" of how my efforts relate to the human experience.
