ABOUT ME

I'm an environmental epidemiologist with ongoing research in air pollution and extreme heat epidemiology. I am interested in understanding determinants of vulnerability and examining health disparity among sensitive populations (children and the elderly).

After completing my Ph.D. in Environmental Health Science at Emory University, I began a postdoctoral fellowship in the Research Applications Laboratory (RAL) at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). My postdoctoral research largely focused on estimating the health impacts of heat and ozone (both indoors and outdoors) among the elderly population in Houston, TX.

More recently, I began working in Education and Outreach, serving as the Program Coordinator for the Early Career Faculty Innovators Program. I am now a Project Scientist I at NCAR, splitting my time between research and program management.

​

I also have experience in toxicology and exposure assessment gained during prior work at the US EPA,  as well as during my Masters program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel  Hill.
