I am a public health professional passionate about using data to inform policies and interventions that promote health and reduce disparities. I graduated from Columbia University with a Master of Public Health degree in epidemiology and a certificate in applied biostatistics and public health data science.I bring strong research, analytical, and organizational skills informed by my background in neuroscience and experience as a research technician in a cancer epigenetics lab. I have experience working in data management, data analysis, and patient education and recruitment. I bring knowledge of conflict resolution, social justice frameworks, and mediation to my work. I strive to approach each challenge in a communicative and collaborative way in an effort to apply research findings to local health challenges.
