"My academic and professional journey is rooted in public health, environmental health, epidemiology, GIS, and geography. I hold a B.S. in Public Health, an M.P.H. in Environmental Health, and an M.S. in Geosciences in Geography from Georgia State University, as well as a professional certificate in GISc. My research has centered on environmental exposures, particularly drinking and well water quality, and their impacts on community health, framed by a dedication to environmental justice, urban and regional planning, and chronic disease epidemiology. I have examined the intricate intersections of soil, air, water quality, and public health, contributing to both academic and applied fields. These efforts have been recognized through numerous awards and fellowships, including my distinction as a Yale Environmental Fellow.

Currently, I am pursuing a dual Ph.D. in Geography and Environmental Science & Policy at Michigan State University. Beyond research, I bring extensive expertise in geospatial analysis, remote sensing, quantitative analysis, biostatistics, environmental health, and epidemiology. I also specialize in manuscript writing, research and thesis development, and professional mentoring, experiences that I have applied in both teaching and consulting roles. Across these spaces, my work seeks to advance educational goals and community-centered initiatives while bridging rigorous academic research with real-world impact." less...
