I’m a Postdoctoral Associate in the Water, Health, and Opportunity Lab at the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health. Most of my research lies at the intersection of drinking water quality and public health. I have led a variety of projects on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS, also known as “forever chemicals”) using techniques from data science and the lab. I try to imbue this work with my interests in open science, data visualization, and science communication.

I recently defended my PhD in population health sciences in the Environmental Health Department at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (HSPH) and was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Sunderland Biogeochemistry of Global Contaminants Lab. Before that, I received my master of science degree in environmental health from HSPH, and my bachelor’s degree in environmental science and engineering from Harvard College. Before graduate school, I worked as a Sustainability Consultant at Sphera (formerly thinkstep), where I primarily conducted environmental life cycle assessments.

In my spare time, I enjoying playing the flute (especially chamber music) and tennis, reading, and baking bread. All of this leaves me with tons of time to gossip with my dog, Georgette.
