Current Position: PhD Candidate

Location: Atlanta, GA.

Degrees: MPH in Maternal and Child Health, MS in Environmental Health Sciences

Areas of Interest: I am a 3rd year PhD Candidate and in Environmental Health Sciences. As an emerging data scientist with a passion for story-telling and policy-informing research, I hope to improve equity in environmental and reproductive health via interdisciplinary research. I have a BS in Molecular Cellular Biology and MPH in Maternal and Child Health from the University of Arizona. Early in my career I led public health initiatives on infant feeding practices in Maricopa County (Phoenix, AZ) and assessed national needs of children and youth with special health care needs in accessing medical care (AMCHP in Washington, DC). These experiences highlighted the direct and indirect roles of our collective environments on health. I chose to pivot to research which led me to Rollins. Now as a researcher, my goals are to apply interdisciplinary methodologies in molecular epidemiology, -omics, and computational toxicology to improve life, wellness, and public health policy in reproductive health.
