Experiences & Accomplishments
In my role as the Assistant Director of Graduate Education for the Department of Epidemiology (2023-Present), I support diverse epidemiology graduate students in their academic journeys, alongside 140+ faculty members and 12 programming staff. My program management experience involved oversight of large multicenter clinical trials (up to $1M annual funding) as well as large community-based and school-based youth professional development programs (up to 500 youth enrollees annually). My research interests include graduate education pedagogy, public mental health, and suicide prevention. With interdisciplinary training in the social sciences and lived experience supporting a loved one through a suicidal period, I'm an advocate for the mental health of close contacts to those experiencing mental and physical health challenges.
