I’m currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Michigan where I’m jointly appointed to the Department of Epidemiology and the Institute for Global Change Biology (IGCB). I work with Marisa Eisenberg and the IGCB to ask questions like, how is COVID-19 transmission going to change as new variants arise and public immunity wanes? And, how will climate change impact the persistence of cholera in Haiti? Or even, what do ocean warming and zooplankton have to do with cholera outbreaks in Bangladesh?

I received my PhD in Meghan Duffy’s lab (University of Michigan Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology) where I used a combination of observational field work, experiments, and mathematical models to better understand complex disease dynamics in an aquatic arthropod study system.
