I'm an Assistant Professor in the Global, Environmental and Occupational Health Department at the University of Maryland School of Public Health. My goal is to improve health and quality of life in underserved and vulnerable populations such as low-income agricultural communities, people experiencing homelessness, and women & children in low-income countries. Through community-engaged research and environmental surveillance, I aim to reduce exposures to harmful pathogens in the environment and prevent the spread of drug-resistant bacteria and soil-transmitted helminths, leading causes of child illness and mortality.

​

I was previously a Postdoctoral Researcher in Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley in the Pickering Lab. I received my PhD in Environmental Health Sciences at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health.

To de-stress, I enjoy trail running, playing soccer, watching GBBO, and paddle boarding with my dog.
