What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster collaboration, innovation, and impactful public health initiatives.

I am a dedicated public health professional currently pursuing my Master’s in Public Health at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, where I have been honored with the 2024 Rose Fellowship Scholarship. My academic journey has been complemented by a strong foundation in data science, having earned a certificate from MIT in Applied Data Science & AI. I have a passion for leveraging data to drive health equity and sustainability initiatives.

Throughout my career, I have taken on leadership roles, such as serving as Vice President for The Pavones Foundation, where I led a $2M proposal for a rural health clinic in Costa Rica. My experience as a Researcher & Designer at Chêne Bleu involved developing sustainability metrics for global vineyards and engaging with international stakeholders. I have also contributed to significant research projects, including my role as Principal Investigator for the Food Culture in Taiwan Study, where I explored public health narratives through qualitative interviews.
