From Bowling Green, Kentucky
I am simply a dedicated and creative public health professional on a mission to improve health outcomes within my community and to help make the world a happier, healthier place in general.
While my interests are very broad, I tend to focus on topics relating to health inequities and to the social determinants of health. To contribute to a better understanding of these issues, I have pursued training and coursework relating to public health research, including coursework in advanced biostatistics, epidemiology, and research methods.
