Even though many of our graduates will have progressed in their careers since completing a case study, they are still of interest to students who wish to gain an understanding of the world of work.

My main responsibilities are to provide support to statistical analyses at the institution and to develop and apply methods that require high level of stats and maths.

In a typical day I am involved with data analyses, programming and plenty of reading.

The challenge of facing problems without answer, or most of the times, problems that are not properly addressed with the specific statistical tools.

The most challenging aspect is the "language", not the real language, but it is hard to match the vocabulary used by a statistician and the vocabulary used by, for instance, medical doctors.

As a statistician with a good maths background I believe my knowledge may be useful to solve public health problems in my country.

I use all stats and maths background I learned during my studies.

I still learning about public health and epidemiology.

Visiting professor at Rio de Janeiro Federal University, Brazil. 2010

Lecturer at Fluminense Federal University in Brazil. 2010-2012

I plan to stay at Fiocruz, but I may take some study leave to work on more statistical methods and epidemiology.

Don't give up and keep studying.
