Olathe, KansasDirector of Epidemiology
Johnson County Department of Health and Environment
To make a difference and allow people to live their healthiest lives, we must use epidemiologic data to advance criminal justice, housing, education, and mental health.
Three words to describe me:
determined, compassionate, educator
The best part of my job:
watching young, passionate epidemiologists impact issues that matter to them in ways they never thought possible
Something that would surprise others about me:
I am a massive introvert who doesn't enjoy public speaking, even though it's a predominant part of my job.
