Summary
Scattologist (microbiologist) turned Epidemiologist. With just over a decade of experience heading a microbiology lab at UC Davis, I've recently embarked on a new journey to broaden my analytical and critical thinking skills by pursuing a Ph.D. in Epidemiology. Generating data from a wide variety of fecal and environmental samples (water, produce, soil) has honed my laboratory techniques and still a huge passion of mine. With my newly acquired epi skills, I can design studies and analyze data appropriately that will help improve human and environmental health. I will continue focusing on enteric zoonotic pathogens because the spread of disease is fascinating and I hope to reduce the socioeconomic burden with contemporary research and effective outreach.
