Public health project coordinator at National Academies who coordinated federally funded consensus studies and synthesized scientific evidence.

United States

Message

At National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, I supported federally funded consensus studies by coordinating timelines, deliverables, and stakeholder activities across teams of subject matter experts.

I drafted and edited technical reports and briefing materials, coordinated expert review, and synthesized scientific evidence through literature reviews. I also maintained a 2,000+ source EndNote library.

At Arlington Public Schools, I led COVID-19 response across 42 schools, applying public health guidance to isolation, testing, and return-to-school decisions. I also supervised a COVID-19 Mitigation Specialist and maintained surveillance data quality for a community reporting dashboard.

Earlier, I supported COVID-19 surveillance at NH Department of Health and Human Services and conducted an analysis of trends in New Hampshire correctional facilities, which I presented at the New Hampshire Public Health Association annual meeting.
