Why I Work at ACS

It¡¯s been a privilege to contribute to the building and maintenance of the Cancer Prevention Studies-3 (CPS-3) cohort. The work we do is so important, and what inspires me is the dedication of the ACS staff and volunteers that go above and beyond. I feel lucky to be able to use my statistical programming skills to move cancer prevention research forward.¡±
