What I'm looking for

I seek a public health role where I can apply environmental health inspections, epidemiology, and data analysis to improve community health, with collaborative teams and opportunities for growth.

I am a Master of Science in Public Health (Applied Epidemiology) with hands-on experience in environmental health inspections and epidemiologic research. My thesis examined changes in drug and alcohol behaviors before and after an educational intervention among Jefferson County youth and young adults, and I used SAS, R, and Tableau to produce actionable findings.

I currently work as an Environmental Health Specialist conducting inspections, issuing corrective actions, and educating business owners on compliance. I bring strong data management skills, IRB-compliant research experience, and a commitment to translating analyses into public health action.
