Hi I'm Kimberly, an Informaticist, Health Data Scientist Consultant, Chemist, Health Disparities Researcher, and passionate Data Educator living in the Metro DC area.
In my career journey, I have had a number of roles, including Bench Research Scientist, Lab Director, Health Data Analyst, and now Informaticist / Health Data Scientist.
Today, I work as a Chemical Information Manager and Cheminformatics Team Lead at a leading US Pharmaceutical organization and my role includes:
- Overseeing the editing and curation of substance/ chemical information.
- Collaborating closely with the FDA to ensure the quality of pharmaceutical products in the US.
- Engaging in innovative projects leveraging machine learning and AI to explore impurities in API production.
I'm currently a Ph.D. candidate in Healthcare Informatics at Rutgers University. My dissertation is not just research; it's a personal mission to use AI/Machine Learning to improve the health outcomes of Black women living with HIV, reflecting my commitment to real-time solutions for health disparities. I also have a strong interst in artifical intelligence / machine learning applications in the fields of cheminformatics and computational toxicology.
Understanding and being a beneficiary of the power of community and representation, I'm the Executive Director of BlackTIDES Data where I serve as the Informatics Lead. BlackTIDES Data aims to connect with, teach, and mentor current and future Black Data professionals to thrive in the fields of Technology, Informatics, Data Science, Epidemiology, and the Social Sciences.
