What I'm looking for

I seek roles applying epidemiology and program implementation to climate-health and equity-focused initiatives, emphasizing data-driven outreach and community engagement.

I am a public health practitioner with a Master of Public Health focused on Epidemiology and Climate Change, and a BA emphasizing Public Health. I blend rigorous epidemiologic methods with practical program design to drive equitable health outcomes.

I have experience producing evidence-based materials and outreach strategies, including treatment comparison guides, national outreach databases, and marketing plans to diversify research participation. I design educational e-course modules and data-driven communications using tools like Figma and Articulate 360.

My hands-on experience spans research internships, practicum projects, and community-facing roles—supporting registry recruitment, mapping national resources, and conducting preventive health screenings. I use statistical and data tools (RStudio, SAS, SPSS, RedCap, Tableau) to inform program decisions.

I am driven by health equity, culturally responsive outreach, and translating research into accessible resources. I welcome opportunities to apply epidemiologic skills and program implementation expertise to initiatives addressing climate-related and socioeconomic health disparities.
