about me
I am a PhD candidate in Environment and Resources (E-IPER) at the Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability, and I am part of the Echolab, Mordecai Lab, and Global Policy Lab. I am co-advised by Erin Mordecai (Biology) and Marshall Burke (Global Environmental Policy). In addition to my program funding, I am supported by the Stanford Data Science Fellowship, NSF GRFP, and the Stanford EDGE Fellowship. Before starting my PhD, I was a research analyst at the Global Policy Lab at UC Berkeley (now @Stanford), worked at an environmental engineering firm, and earned my MPH from Columbia University in Environmental Health Sciences and Global Health.
When I'm not at my desk, you can find me outside - most likely running or hiking up a mountain. I also co-founded a trivia company (aeroTRIV) with my husband and we love to host bespoke trivia nights to bring communities together.
research interests
planetary health | disease ecology | environmental data science | environmental exposures | global change
I measure the impact of large-scale environmental changes on human health and environmental quality, with a focus on natural disasters. I think about things like what chemicals are in wildfire smoke and how tropical cyclones affect the burden of infectious disease. I combine different scales of data with causal inference to say something about what environmental exposures mean for people and the environment.
