What I'm looking for

I seek analytical, humanitarian, or learning-focused roles where I can apply epidemiologic methods, data visualization, and instructional design to support program evaluation and improve community health.

I am an MPH-trained epidemiologist with hands-on experience in research, instructional design, and health equity, currently pursuing an MS in Data Science to deepen my analytical toolkit. I have supported graduate-level instruction at NYU and conducted epidemiologic analyses for FIU using Stata and R.

My work includes designing survey instruments and datasets in Qualtrics, producing visualizations and statistical reports on disease trends, and contributing to disaster preparedness and program evaluation projects. I have authored several case studies and disaster response plans published in the NYU School of Global Public Health disaster journal.

I bring a blend of technical skills (Stata, R, Excel, Qualtrics) and community-focused public health practice, seeking roles where I can apply data-driven evaluation, learning design, and humanitarian program support to improve health outcomes.
