About Me

my ongoing journey

I am an environmental health and sustainability scientist, student leader, and PhD candidate at Yale University's School of the Environment. I am deeply committed to exploring the impacts of air quality and environmental pollution on communities through data collection and fieldwork, as well as the use of open- and closed-source geospatial tools and statistical modeling. As a motivated and detail-oriented scholar, my current research provides meaningful insights into the impact of environmental exposures, such as air pollution and concentrated animal farming, on rural communities both locally and globally.
