Who I Am

An experienced statistical programmer specialized in SAS programming. By training, I am a mathematical sociologist and systems engineer; by occupation, senior statistical programmer / data archivist at the Office of Population Research, Princeton University. I play the piano and racquet ball -- not at the same time, though.
