At Fund for Public Health in New York (FPHNY) / NYC DOHMH, I oversee day-to-day operations for the Shelter & Supportive Housing team and coordinate investigations across congregate settings. I supervise investigators, coordinate infectious disease cluster investigations with agency partners, and communicate public health guidance to shelter facility directors.

During my City Research Scientist I role at Atrium Staffing Agency / NYC DOHMH, I managed case investigations during the COVID-19 emergency response and shared interview findings to support surveillance operations. I hold a Master of Public Health in Global Health from New York University, with academic global health experience in Lebanon, the United Kingdom, and Nicaragua.
