I am a doctoral student with the Grubaugh Lab and Carlson Lab at the Yale School of Public Health, and an NSF Graduate Research Fellow. I earned my B.S. from the University of Southern California, where I studied Global Health and Human Security & Geospatial Intelligence.

My research explores how planetary changes influence the emergence, persistence, and burden of arthropod-borne viruses using statistical and AI/ML models. I also spend time thinking about how we can improve open science infrastructure for disease ecology, and how we can make models more interpretable so that predictions can help inform scenario-planning and global health governance.

I previously worked as a data engineer & research analyst at Talus Analytics and Georgetown University Center for Global Health Science and Security. There, I built production-grade data architecture and analytic pipelines to support state and local COVID-19 emergency response, global health security financing, and spillover prediction for highly pathogenic avian influenza.

Outside of the lab, I enjoy cooking food from around the world, bead embroidery, and bird watching! I'm also actively involved in the policy debate community, and currently serve as an advisory board member for the Nashville Urban Debate League.

If we have similar interests, or you'd like to learn more about what I am working on, please feel free to reach out. I'd love to chat virtually or grab a coffee in person! Email is generally the best way to contact me, but happy to connect on socials as well — they're linked below :)
