What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a position in epidemiology, public health research, research coordination, or public health analysis.

At Nazareth University, I analyzed findings from the National College Health Assessment and Healthy Minds Study to identify student health priorities and inform prevention strategies.

I developed health, wellness, alcohol and other drug, and suicide prevention initiatives informed by population health data. I also created and oversaw an undergraduate peer educator program.

As a Graduate Fellow with the New York State Department of Health, I conducted community needs assessments and analyzed health data to identify priorities. I evaluated programs using key performance indicators and used findings to inform improvements.

At Restore Sexual Assault Services, I delivered prevention and health education workshops and developed culturally sensitive materials. I currently teach Biology, AP Environmental Science, and Earth Science at Grace Christian School.
