About Me
Presently, I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Epidemiology within the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan. My graduate work is related to insecticide treated net (ITN) use in Malawian mothers to prevent malaria in children using geospatial models of household behaviors and disease.
My academic interests are wide, but generally focused on health, wealth and social disparities around the world. I believe that place plays a major role in all aspects of the human condition.
I have an M.A. in Mathematics from Eastern Michigan University and an M.S. in Biostatistics from the University of Michigan.
All topics related to Japan are of interest to me. I am also passionate about conflict as it affects impoverished populations, geospatial representations of conflict and human rights.
I’m addicted to documentary film, music and creating an endless record of my life through photography. I also enjoy comic books.
