What I'm looking for

I seek research or clinical roles that combine epidemiology, data-driven public health interventions, community engagement, and opportunities to advance equitable healthcare delivery.

I am an MD/MPH candidate focused on population health, clinical research, and health equity, with a 4.0 GPA and specialized training in rural and underserved care. I have designed and managed REDCap databases, developed quantitative survey instruments, and performed statistical analyses using SPSS and STATA across multi-institutional projects.

My work includes clinical research coordination in pediatric infectious disease and vascular surgery, a CDC Public Health Data and Informatics Fellowship, and roles building vaccine confidence and evaluating public health information systems. I have co-authored peer-reviewed publications and presented findings at national conferences, highlighting measurable impacts on vaccination attitudes and infection prevention.

I bring strong communication, mentorship, and leadership experience through community-engaged programs, teaching assistantship duties, and service initiatives aimed at improving access to care and addressing social determinants of health. I seek opportunities that leverage my research skills and public health training to advance equitable population health outcomes.
