About Me

I am an experienced researcher who is passionate about promoting health equity and environmental justice through research, communication, and education. My research interests focus on the complex role that social stressors and resilience factors play in modifying and/or mediating the effects of climate-related exposures on health.

Currently, I’m working on analyzing these effects across New York State in the context of pediatric health. I am also part of a community-based air monitoring study in South/Southwest Philadelphia, which was co-designed with Philly Thrive, a local environmental justice organization.

With a background in organic chemistry (BA, Reed College ’15) and in Social and Behavioral Sciences (MPH, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health ’21), I understand that the determinants of population health operate on many scales, from molecular/biological to social/structural, throughout the life-course, and across generations.

In my free time you can find me bouldering, cooking, or listening to music.
