Carrie Kriz
Hometown: Independence, MissouriClass of 2018
Undergraduate Major: Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, Minor Biology from University of Missouri - Columbia
Post-baccalaureate work experience:
My first post-baccalaureate position was with a community mental health center working in the intake department. Currently, I’m employed as a clinical research coordinator with the UMKC School of Pharmacy with the Psychopharmacy Research and Education Program.
Program in or completed at UMKC:
Master of Science in Bioinformatics, clinical research emphasis area.
Graduation date:
May 2018
Why did you choose UMKC?
I chose UMKC largely due to my position with the School of Pharmacy. However, I had considered multiple graduate programs before accepting my current position, and I can honestly say I would have ended up in the MSB program even without being employed by the university. I love Kansas City even more since moving back from Columbia, and UMKC is the only research institution in the city, so being in KC, at a large research university, and in a research focused program is the best fit for me.
What excites you about bioinformatics?
I love how new the field is and how much there is yet to be explored within bioinformatics. It feels like there are an infinite number of things to explore with all of the data out there and more being created every day.
What are your research interests?
Primarily, I have worked in mental health and psychological research for the last 5 years; however, I’m generally excited by all types of research. My current position has exposed me to a lot of clinical, industry, and pharmacy research which has been a really great and broad experience. Next on my list is to learn how to work with big data and existing data sets. After working in clinical/human subjects research, big data seems like less hassle but we’ll see!
How do you plan to use your degree in your career?
I love research, and I think I’ll always work in research. The appeal of the clinical track of the bioinformatics program for me was the well- rounded research coursework (stats, epi, informatics). This coursework has prepared me to work in a higher capacity with research than I do now and do more analysis and study development.
