Dissertation Mentor-scientific writing, logic, editing Form & Style

Mary Lou G.

Biostatistics

I completed one year in parametric and two quarters in non-parametric biostatistics during PhD program. I continuously enroll in monthly Webinars sponsored by the Academy of Health and the VA Health Services Research Centers. I have mentored over 50 doctoral students advising on methodology during the dissertation phase. I can assist graduate students as part of their graduate degree or professionals who need to prepare proposals to be submitted for grant funding.

Epidemiology

I earned a PhD in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University. I completed a Post-doctoral fellowship in cancer epidemiology at the National Institutes of Health. I have taught Introduction to Public Health and Epidemiology for undergraduates, master and PhD students, and Social Epidemiology for master and doctoral students. This is material that is difficult for most non-science majors as each new term is not just a definition but a concept. I use applications to every day health issues to reinforce concepts (epidemic of Zika virus). I also find websites that have graphics to visualize disease and related body organs (breast cancer).

SPSS

I have over 20 years experience using SPSS and SAS for data analyses. I can tutor students needing to use SPSS for statistics courses at masters or Ph.D. level, or assist graduate students and professionals with questionnaire construction, data entry, and analysis as part of thesis research, dissertation proposals and poposals to be submitted for grant funding.

Statistics

I have tutored students in undergraduate, master's and Ph.D. programs taking basic statistics, multivariate statistics or application during thesis and dissertation.
