Greetings!

I am a graduate of University of Maryland’s School of Public Health and hold a Master of Public Health degree in Behavioral and Community Health. I am passionate about many things and have experiences that lie broadly in the realms of disparities in healthcare access, interpersonal violence prevention and the spread of infectious disease – specifically the interrelationship of disruptions in the natural environment, health behaviors and the emergence and reemergence of zoonotic diseases. I absolutely LOVE behavioral health and application of theoretical constructs in interventions to change health behaviors.

What am I like outside of work and academia? I like to paint, play mandolin, drink excessive amounts of espresso, bike, hike, travel, bake, connect with people, and make others laugh.
