Therri Usher
Therri Usher always enjoyed mathematics, even competing in competitions during high school. Despite this, others encouraged her to pursue a career as a medical doctor, so she entered college as a pre-med student. However, when she was offered the opportunity to work in a biology lab researching sickle cell disease and conducting data analysis, she changed her major to biostatistics with a specialization in statistics. After completing her PhD, Therri joined the US Food and Drug Administration, where she applies statistical theories and methods used in the regulation of drug products to treat viral infections and rare diseases.
