Dr. Christian Douglas is Senior Statistician at Duke University, where she supports researchers in the School of Nursing. She works on a variety of different healthcare and medicine projects. In particular, she helps researchers secure funding by detailing the statistics work that would need to be done, as part of grant proposals. Her background is in statistics, especially in the healthcare space. Christian says broader exposure to STEM fields to young folks will help improve diversity in these fields. Often times underrepresented folks, especially those in rural areas, aren't aware that these fields even exist. She recalls her own experience growing up in rural Alabama. In this regard, Christian has participated in NSBE in the past, and is part of panel discussions as well. Christian previously got a PhD in Biostatistics at UNC Chapel Hill.
