Hi there 👋

I am a data scientist and public health specialist who is passionate about leveraging evidence and analytics for global impact. I’ve spent the last several years at USAID, where I helped lead data science efforts for PEPFAR – the U.S. government’s flagship global health program and the largest initiative in the world targeting HIV/AIDS.

Throughout my tenure, I collaborated with governments and partners across more than a dozen countries to apply epidemiological modeling, geospatial analysis, and analytics to drive programmatic strategy for high-impact global health programs. My work has supported HIV, tuberculosis, and other global health programs in over a dozen countries, with a focus on conducting rigorous analytics and statistical modeling, automating data workflows and reporting systems, and developing open-source tools to make data more actionable and accessible for cross-functional stakeholders.

I had the privilege to collaborate with a small group of data scientists at @USAID-OHA-SI, helping to advance analytics tools, data management practices, data visualization, and communications globally.

My public presentations can be found on Speaker Deck. My talks at Posit Conf can be found here: 2023, 2024.
