About Heather Reese
I\'m an environmental and infectious disease epidemiologist with 10+ years developing innovative surveillance systems, and applying modeling and analytics to support public health decision-making in both U. S. and global contexts. At CDC, I\'ve worked across multiple programs, translating complex data into actionable insights for public health practice. Grounded in early fieldwork in LMICs, I bring a strong commitment to health equity, interdisciplinary collaboration, and turning evidence into impact.
