My passion is vectorborne diseases and specifically how the environment influences the distribution and spread of disease. Working with the AZ Climate & Health team allows me to merge my research interests into an application to hopefully improve health for the future. I am inspired to integrate strong scientific evidence into real-world applications. Climate change is a ‘wicked’ problem, but one which I believe we can address – if we have the courage to do so.

I received my PhD from Yale University and my MPH from the George Washington University. I was a post-doctoral fellow at Oxford University and the US CDC.
