My work is devoted to giving everyone the opportunity to lead a healthy and meaningful life.

I work in the fields of epidemiology and global health.  This has included both statistical analyses while in the US and UK, and health systems / implementation work in Nepal, India, South Africa, and Sierra Leone.  I have also worked on disease outbreaks, including COVID-19, Ebola, and cholera.  I received a PhD (2019) and MSc (2009) in epidemiology from LSHTM, and S.B.s (2004) in Physics and Anthropology from MIT. 

Since April 2020, I have been focused on my temporary role as Deputy Director of Data and Design for the Massachusetts COVID-19 contact tracing program.
