Laila’s Career Goals
My long-term goal is to drive change by participating in biostatistical research, utilizing advanced programming and statistical tools to identify patterns in healthcare disparities and address the various factors affecting the health of Black women. With my findings, I can develop data-driven, evidence-based solutions to advance health equity and ultimately improve healthcare for Black women and other underrepresented minorities.
