Background
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Global Health and the Department of Epidemiology at the University of Washington. I graduated from the University of Edinburgh’s Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies with my BVM&S (DVM equivalent) in 2011, and received my MS (2017) and PhD (2021) in Epidemiology from the University of Washington.
My research focuses on human health at the human-animal interface, in particular the effect of livestock exposure on infectious disease risk to humans, in particular the influence of macrosocial forces on interspecies disease transmission. I have a strong interest in epidemiologic methods for inferring cause from observational studies, spatial epidemiology including experience with R-INLA, survey statistics, and mathematical modeling.
