What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role applying epidemiology, biostatistics, and data systems to strengthen public health preparedness and response, with cross-jurisdictional collaboration and opportunities to lead projects and develop SOPs.

I am an epidemiologist and public health data analyst with extensive experience supporting federal partners in pandemic preparedness, epidemiology, biostatistics, and stakeholder communications. I have participated in over 14 CDC-led exercises and responses, including H7N9, Ebola, COVID-19, Zika, and the 2016 Flu on Call® Demonstration Project.

I have provided real-time analytics, developed SOPs and technical documentation, managed data systems (including NBS/Redmine), and supported complex studies with descriptive and inferential models, Cox regression, and multivariate analyses. I hold a Master of Public Health in Applied Epidemiology, a PMP certification, and a Certificate of Public Health (CPH).

I seek roles where I can apply rigorous data management, visualization, and stakeholder coordination skills to improve public health preparedness and response while contributing to technical writing, tool development, and cross-jurisdictional collaboration.
