A heartfelt thank you to our incredible partners who spent the morning with us yesterday at Shady Maple Smorgasbord! ❤

We’re so grateful for the opportunity to gather together, share a meal, hear from a patient family, members of our Clinic team, and EDC Lancaster, and talk about the work we’re doing today and where we’re headed in the future.

Most of all, we’re grateful for the many partnerships that allow us at the Clinic for Special Children to serve families who need our care.

As a Clinical Research Analyst, Ashlin designs studies, runs statistical analyses, and builds reports that turn data into something useful for our clinicians, researchers, and the families we serve. 📊

After nine years at the Clinic, seven in the lab and two on the research team, Ashlin values how closely research and patient care are connected. What we learn goes right back into the care of our patients.

Outside of work, she enjoys time with her husband, young son, and two dogs, whether that’s running, biking, or heading to the beach. ⛱

Thank you, Ashlin!
