Ms Katrina Blazek

Back to

I graduated from the NSW Ministry of Health Biostatistics Training Program in 2019 with Star Graduate Status. Since then i have dedicated myself to teaching biostatistics to public health students. I work closely with researchers from a broad range of disciplines and enjoy the challenge of finding the best statistical tool for each research question.
