SKILLS
ABOUT JENNIFER F. MYERS
Senior Public Health Informaticist specializing in applied data systems, surveillance modernization, and analytics for infectious disease programs. I bring over a decade of experience building and optimizing data pipelines, automating surveillance workflows, and translating complex technical processes into actionable insight for public health practice.My work bridges epidemiology, informatics, and implementation — from legacy systems to modern cloud environments, and evolving from SAS batch automation to analytic ecosystems built with Viya, R/Posit, and SQL. I’m driven by practical modernization: making public health data systems more integrated, reproducible, and actionable to improve both insight and impact.Currently serving as Senior Lead for Applied Informatics & Data Modernization in the Infectious Diseases Branch (IDB), where I collaborate across state, local, and federal partners to strengthen public health data systems and workforce capacity. I believe good data is the foundation of public trust — and that modernization should always remain human-centered.
