About me
I am a GIS and spatial epidemiologist at Washington State Department of Health (DOH), where I support epidemiologists and data analysts in the Division of Prevention and Community Health with GIS, spatial data analysis, and data visualization needs.
Education Background and Professional Experience: I have a diverse education background that includes terminal degrees in environmental sciences and Epidemiology and Biostatics. Prior to joining the DOH, I held a faculty position in the Department of Public Health at the University of Tennessee, where I trained and mentored graduate students and engaged in research using GIS and spatial statistics tools to uncover health inequities and associated drivers.
Outside of work, I enjoy gardening, cooking, crafting using beads, crocheting, knitting, visiting with the elderly, and spending time with family.
