Visiting Assistant Professor of Public Health

My teaching in the Master of Public Health program focuses on epidemiology, biostatistics and research methods. As an epidemiologist, my work explores human health through both quantitative and qualitative research, with a focus on how environmental and social factors shape population health. I enjoy helping students translate data into meaningful insights that inform public health practice and policy.
